A key figure in the development of trip-hop, he played an essential role in the music scene of Bristol, a city that became a global reference for the fusion of hip-hop, dub, soul, and electronic music. As one of the founders of Massive Attack — a pioneering group and one of the most influential in electronic music in recent decades — he helped shape the city's distinctive sound and project it worldwide. His career began in the 1980s, when he became one of the youngest DJs in Bristol. His sets — blending disco, funk, American punk, old-school rap, soul, and dub reggae — became legendary, both for his musical selections and for his technique and presence on the microphone. In addition to his work with Massive Attack, Daddy G has maintained an active career as a DJ. In 2004, he released a critically acclaimed DJ mix album for the DJ-Kicks series, showcasing his versatility in blending diverse styles. He continues to perform at top clubs and festivals around the world, always with fresh and updated selections. He is regarded as a central figure in the development of the "Bristol Sound", a term often associated with trip-hop, alongside artists such as Portishead and Tricky.
