Massive Attack are a music production duo from Bristol, UK. Working alongside co-producers, various favoured session musicians and guest vocalists, they make records and tour live. The duo are considered to be progenitors of a genre named trip hop.
Originally three in number, DJs Grantley “Grant” Marshall (a.k.a. Daddy G or “G”), Andrew “Andy” Vowles (a.k.a. Mushroom or “Mush”) and painter-turned-MC Robert Del Naja (a.k.a. 3D or “D”) met as members of The Wild Bunch. It was one of the first homegrown sound systems in the UK and a dominantly eclectic force on the 1980s Bristolian club scene.
Starting out as a spin-off production trio in 1988, with the independently-released song, “Any Love”, sung by falsetto-voiced singer-songwriter Carlton McCarthy, and then with considerable backing from Neneh Cherry, they later signed to Circa Records in 1990 – committing to deliver six studio albums and a “best of” compilation. Circa became a subsidiary of, and was later subsumed into, Virgin Records, which in turn was acquired by the now Terra Firma-owned major, EMI.
