Biography
Tricky was born in Knowle West, Bristol, England. His father left the family before he was born and his mother, Maxine Quaye, committed suicide when he was four. He named his first solo album after her - ''Maxinquaye'' - and once said that though he hardly knew her he feels like she's speaking through him with his words.
Tricky's family includes a great diversity of ethnic backgrounds, including Jamaican, Spanish, British, Amerindian and many others. He cites that his family is incredibly varied in appearance, one cousin white, one seemingly Asian, one very dark-skinned and looking mostly of African heritage (Melody Maker Jan. 11, 2007).
