Tricky talks his up bringing, his first album and how his book can help others | Audible Sessions
Joining us at Audible Studios is English record producer, rapper and actor Adrian Thaws, better known by his stage name, Tricky. Tricky has written a no holds barred autobiography taking a look back at his life, titled Hell Is Round the Corner.
Tricky, born and raised in Bristol, had a difficult start in life, though he wouldn’t see it that way. His mother committed suicide when he was just four years old, and his father wasn’t part of the family. He was raised primarily by his grandmother, who allowed him to stay home from school, and by various uncles and other relatives.
Tricky was a part of the original lineup of the Wild Bunch, who became Massive Attack in 1987. Tricky performed with them until 1995, when he went solo with his first album, titled after his mother, Maxinquaye. H...

Joining us at Audible Studios is English record producer, rapper and actor Adrian Thaws, better known by his stage name, Tricky. Tricky has written a no holds barred autobiography taking a look back at his life, titled Hell Is Round the Corner.
Tricky, born and raised in Bristol, had a difficult start in life, though he wouldn’t see it that way. His mother committed suicide when he was just four years old, and his father wasn’t part of the family. He was raised primarily by his grandmother, who allowed him to stay home from school, and by various uncles and other relatives.
Tricky was a part of the original lineup of the Wild Bunch, who became Massive Attack in 1987. Tricky performed with them until 1995, when he went solo with his first album, titled after his mother, Maxinquaye. He gained national and international fame, which he is famously uncomfortable with. His solo career has seen many albums released, as well as Tricky co-producing music throughout this time. On 26th June 2012, Tricky appeared onstage during Beyonce's headline slot on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury for the track 'Baby Boy'. Tricky has also acted in several films, such as The Fifth Element and Clean.
We spoke to Tricky about violence in Knowle-West growing up, the first music he made and what he hopes people will take away from the book.

The new album 'Adrian Thaws' out now. Click here for details http://smarturl.it/TrickyAlbumNews
Listen to the first single 'Nicotine Love' here: http://smarturl.it/tricky-nicotinelove
'Does it' / 'Nothing's Changed' out now. Buy on iTunes - http://georiot.co/XtT
Taken from the album 'False Idols' released on False Idols in association with !K7 Records.
Tricky is back. Back with a new album "False Idols".
The first single is 'Does It', sets the tone. It's a brooding throb of muscular bass, moody handclaps and Tricky's dystopian lyrics. It's ominous, a dark vision of the world that asks why people aren't more angry about the status quo. "People will either get it or not get it," says Tricky. "It's meant to be felt as well as heard - it's primal. Whether people get it or not, the fact is, compared to the over-produced, over marketed stuff out there, it's a wake-up call."
'Does It' is accompanied by a hard-hitting video, which debuted on the Rolling Stone website in March. The imagery is of social unrest, crowds clashing with the police and a troubled Tricky murmuring his lines. It's clearly a political statement. As is the name of his record label, like the album called False Idols. 'Does It' is the first release.
It's a new start for Tricky. Not that he cares if it works, or if people like it. "I don't give a fuck," he says. "This new album I'll stand behind every track. I don't care whether people like it. I'm doing what I want to do, which is what I did with my first record. That's what made me who I was in the beginning. If people don't like it, it don't matter to me because I'm back where I was."
Back where he belongs.

Tricky presents: Skilled Mechanics
New album out now on False Idols / !K7
order: https://K7.lnk.to/TrickySkilledMechanicsbM
Director: Darrel Pursey & Tricky
Director of Photography: Mark Hunt
Shot in Knowle West, Bristol, featuring boxer Ben Ferris and an appearance from Tricky's old friend Whitley, who is mentioned in the song's lyrics.
Skilled Mechanics is a collaborative project that allows the producer and vocalist to work with many different artists, while at the same time pushing his unique vocal talents to the forefront. Primary contributors to the project include Tricky's longtime friend and Wild Bunch member DJ Milo, as well as Tricky's tour drummer Luke Harris.
'Boy' is one of Tricky's most personal, confessional song to date. He explains: “All the problems I have now are because of my childhood. I went to Bristol at Christmas time a couple of years ago and I ended up having an asthma attack. My eldest daughter drove down to the hospital to collect me and I said, ‘I think it’s because I’ve eaten something.’ And she said, ‘No it’s not. You’re remembering stuff. It’s because you’ve come back to Bristol, you’re being reminded of stuff.’ It’s obvious really. Most of my problems stem from when I was a kid.
“The first time I remember seeing my mum was in an open, glass topped coffin in my grandmother’s house. I was about four years of age and she was in the room opposite mine. I found my dad in the phone book when I was 12 years of age. For some reason I used to sit in my auntie’s house and go through the phone book. This says to me that I was looking for an identity. Looking for myself. I found someone who had the same last name as me and my aunt said, ‘That’s your dad. Why don’t you give him a call?’ I used to go and see him and he would literally forget my name. It’s almost like I could have written this track 20 years ago but it was something that had to come out eventually, I had to put it down. But everything on that track is true. Every word on Boy is actual fact.”
