There is no-one that quite compares with Tricky. Originating in the incredibly diverse, beats-orientated Bristol scene of the 1990's, Tricky was instrumental in shaping the sound and vision of seminal trip-hoppers, Massive Attack...
But he soon veered away onto his own solo journey through the realms of trip-hop, rap, electronica, punk, and even heavy metal - mashing it all up into a unique catalogue of tracks that feature his distinct, spliff-laden growl, partnered with the angelic tones of his once partner-in-crime, Marina Topley Bird.
He has undertaken some incredible collaborations with artists from all sorts of different music genres - and has always been respected for doing things his own way, without ever comprising for commercial success.

More power to the Tricky Kid!
