Proud anarchist. Revolutionary poet. Professor Benjamin Zephaniah would've turned 67 on Tuesday. My story in the The Guardian celebrates his radical, overlooked contribution to electronic music, from dub-techno & dubstep, to trip-hop, jungle & beyond.

Izaan Ahmed was just 12 when he painted this moving, pastel portrait of Benjamin Zephaniah. It was an honour to meet him in the art room Shireland Collegiate Academy, and write about his humanising tribute for Royal Academy. This is why arts education matters.
