Tricky's appreciation for music began in early 80's. While aspiring to be a choreographer, he put together a break-dance & rap crew in 1987 under the name Critial Stepp with original memebers who are currently influential in the local urban music scene: Choclair & Ro Dollar. "I used to put together the music for our performances, mixing from tape to tape, phonograph to tape, you know - original skills - thought out processes. Dj'ing was still a new thing back then. You had a lot of leeway in creating new styles, cuts, & scratches. I played everything from hip hop, rnb & funk to reggae & soca - of course house music was always a major influence to me - mixing, scratching, & breaking down music intellectually always had a major influence on me, period". Tricky's ability to manipulate and transform music led him to the development of WFP Studios where he began producing music for his now international record label, Blue Elephant Recordings.
