Career
Muck Sticky has self-released fourteen albums since 2004, and was featured on the Music Television series, $5 Cover. Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Muck Sticky comes from a long line of musicians. Between the ages of 16-23, Muck was employed in many different fields including carpentry, restaurant service, bricklaying, water park lifeguard, and ice cream truck driver.
In the year 2000, with the money he earned from his manual laborer job at a local convention service company, he bought an 8-track recorder and began creating his first album.
In January of 2001, he gave his first live performance at a “Battle of the Bands” concert in his hometown Memphis, Tennessee. Since Muck recorded all of his music alone, he decided to attach wigs, hats, sunglasses, and instruments to 6-foot tall floor lamps and call them his “band”. To this day he frequently brings them on stage during his shows, but the show has grown to include his mother, sister, best friends, and his fans.
Sticky was featured on the Music Television series $5 Cover, which centers around the careers of singers from the Memphis, Tennessee area. The show is produced by Craig Brewer, director and writer of the 2005 movie, Hustle & Flow.
A review described Sticky as an artist who "comes across as a backwoods midpoint between Beck and Mungo Jerry..somewhere between Slim Shady and Weird First Rate (at Lloyd's).".
