Ian Matthias Bavitz (born June 5, 1976), better known by his stage name Aesop Rock, is an American hip hop recording artist and producer residing in Portland, Oregon.

His birth name was Ian Matthias Bavitz. He married fellow musician Allyson Baker.

He has tattoos on each forearm. His left arm reads “Must Not Sleep…” and the right says “…Must Warn Others.” These are inspired by childhood antics where he and his friends would act as robots arms outstretched quoting the line which has its origins in the 1956 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Aesop Rock has used these quotes as lyrics in the chorus of his song “Commencement at the Obedience Academy”: “Must not sleep; must warn others / Trust blocks creep where the dust storm hovers.” He also used them in his song “Antisocial,” in the line “Must not sleep; must warn others / I’ll tourniquet your turbulence then trample on your stutters.”

He met his future collaborator, Blockhead, in 1994 during the latter’s only year at the school. After hearing Aesop Rock freestyle, Blockhead decided to forgo his own dreams of rapping in favor of focusing on production. Blockhead was involved with a crew in New York called The Overground that included Dub-L. During his early adulthood, Aesop Rock held various odd jobs including positions answering phones for clothing catalogs, packaging artwork in art gallery storerooms and working for one-hour photo developers.

After his breakthrough success in the underground hip hop and indie rap community, he was eventually noticed by the Mush label and obtained his first record deal in 1999, just a year after he graduated from college. Aesop released his first major album, Float (2000), with guest appearances from Vast Aire, Slug, and Dose One. Production was split between Blockhead and Aesop himself, with one track by Omega One. During this time, Aesop worked at a photography gallery. In August 2001 tragedy struck when Bavitz had a nervous breakdown. The song “One of Four” on his Daylight EP documents his struggles.
