  • Mr. C (pseudonyme de Richard West) est un DJ britannique, musicien et rappeur.

En 1995, ses talents de DJ attirèrent l'attention de la maison de promotion et de production Fantazia qui lui demanda de mixer leur nouvel album Fantasia DJ Collection 3 - Back to the Old Skool. Lorsqu'on lui demande ce que le C de son pseudonyme désigne, Richard West indique : Modèle:Guil. C'est ce que je raconte aux magazines en papier glacé. Une autre histoire que j'aime raconter aux gens plus ... religieux est que le c est la mesure de la vitesse de la lumière, et qu'avec le c signifiant lumière, cela fait de moi le prince de la lumière qui a disparu dans les ténèbres - ce qui est toujours drôle. Et la raison réelle est que, lorsque j'étais gamin, j'utilisais une radio CB ce qui était totalement illégal, vous deviez faire attention. Je me surnommais Chelsea Boy parce que j'étais un supporter de Chelsea. Ayant besoin d'un nom d'artiste en tant que MC et rappeur, il modifia Chelsea Boy en Mr. C.
