Jan Scott Wilkinson, better known as Yan, is the lead singer in English rock band British Sea Power and was the main songwriter on their first two albums. On the third, entitled Do You Like Rock Music, vocal duties are divided equally with bandmate Hamilton and Yan has written just a few of the tracks. He plays guitar on some songs, as well as bass on most of the ones that Hamilton sings.

Along with BSP's drummer Wood, Yan helped design some of the early album artwork, including the sleeve for "The Decline of British Sea Power" and its singles, which were based on old book covers.

Interests

Yan recently admitted to having a great interest in the outdoors, gardening and pigeons. [cite web |url=http://www.skinnymag.co.uk/content/view/6474/142/ |title=British Sea Power's theory of relativity |work=The Skinny Mag |date=January 2008] .Dead link|date=August 2008
