The Story of Labrinth on BBC 1Xtra Stories
Sunday 22nd April, 9pm-10pm
1Xtra’s Mistajam tells the story of Labrinth, the artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist.
You may know him as the man behind Tinie Tempah’s ‘Pass Out’ or perhaps you first of heard him when ‘Earthquake’ hit the scene? But did you know that music runs deep in his family? Or that he sees colours when he writes music?
Mistajam heads to the rising star’s restaurant in Wood Green to discover the ingredients that transformed Hackney teenager Timothy McKenzie into super-producer Labrinth.
Labrinth comes from a large, musically talented family. His brother plays drums for Tinie Tempah and his sisters provide vocal sessions for Terri Walker & Wretch 32. But what was it like growing up in the McKenzie household?
From his first publishing deal with EMI to the release of his debut album Electronic Earth, just what is the recipe to Labrinth’s success?
Listen HERE on Sunday 22nd at 9m & for 7 days afterwards on iPlayer.
