About Me

MyGen Profile Generator Welcome and Enjoy the music of Tricky Laye. If you want to find him just have a look between Paris and Dakar. This 28 years old musician is like a crazy scientist perpetually looking for the fluid.He writes and composes his songs at his speed of life, very slowly. This relaxed singer, writer and composer who is no more on hurry mixes a lots of different music styles in his songs. That's why they sound as amazing than attractive. You will probably feel some hip hop notes, pop music smoothness and sometimes tropical rhythms' flavours.He define his music as Electr-hip-pop from the mix of (electronic music, Hip hop and pop music) and could not be 100% check boxed in one of the existing music styles.After having mixed and composed a lot of demos, he jumped in the music industry in 2004, when he produced the single oui baby with his friend Daniel. This non released tune has encouraged him to improve and to strengthen his writting skills thanks to the congratulations and the words of encouragement received.You have probably heard another of his tunes gaindés 2002 a tribute to the national senegalese football team which reached in 2002 the quarterfinals of the world cup.Deceived by the way the music industry is now turning, he has created in 2007 with his sister the label Araftu which is producing his music.He is now working on a beta project with 2 talented singers in paris (E & M). You can listen the first single of the project " Dingue" on this page.Keep the music alivePeace
