Robin Esmond Scott (born 1 April 1947, Croydon, London), is a British musician and founder of a music project he called M know for their smash hit Pop Muzik. His career encompasses four decades.

He grew up in the South London suburb of Croydon, and after leaving school enrolled at Croydon Art college, where he met Malcolm McLaren in the late 1960s. Scott befriended him and fashion guru Vivienne Westwood (with whom he was to collaborate ten years later).

He declined their offer to be involved in SEX, the Chelsea clothes shop which MacLaren and Westwood launched, preferring to make his career in music. While at college he had displayed a talent for writing topical songs which he performed on radio and TV, and this led to his debut album, entitled Woman From the Warm Grass, which was released on a small independent label called Head Records. Scott was backed on the album by a notable group of the time, Mighty Baby, but the recording studio soon folded. Scott began working as a troubadour, singing his own songs and accompanying himself on guitar and spent a period playing folk music clubs as a solo artist, sharing bills with such emergent artists as David Bowie, John Martin and Ralph McTell.

When punk rock began to surface in late 1976 early 1977, while working with Roogalator both as producer and manager, Adam & The Ants introduced themselves to Do It Records.
