Tricky

Bio

Growing up in a rough neighbourhood, Tricky was involved in multiple crimes and misdemeanours from a young age. When he turned 15, Tricky began meddling in music and started writing lyrics that reflected the reality of his life. After meeting DJ Milo and spending increasing amounts of time with his group of friends, Tricky found himself a part of the group that was destined to become Massive Attack in 1987. Interested in pursuing his own music, though, Tricky left Massive Attack in 1994 just shy of the release of his first album, “Maxinquaye”, which was named in honour of his mother who had commit suicide when Tricky was just four years old.
