Born and raised in Bristol, he began his career as an early collaborator & best known as a founding member of the band Massive Attack before embarking on a solo career with his debut album, Maxinquaye, in 1995. The release won Tricky popular acclaim and marked the beginning of a lengthy collaborative partnership with vocalist Martina Topley-Bird.
