About me: Born in England to a Jamaican Father & Trinidadian Mother, Troublesome started out in music at the early age of 13, entering into talent competitions and children’s singing shows. While still at the tender age of 13 Troublesome’s family and himself departed from England to live in Trinidad & Tobago-the land of his Mother.
Troublesome entered school there and continued with his musical interests, he and some friends in the same village formed a group called ‘The Rising Sun’. Troublesome was then nicknamed Mikey Don, other members of the group were named Geenie (singer) & Mad Snake (MC). The group broke up after a while but not from bad vibes. After this his name was changed to the present ‘Troublesome’, thought of by a friend and thought to be well suited for the young artist!
Troublesome still pursued his dreams and hooked up with a producer called Shell Shock who produced a track with him called ‘Troublesome is Fighting’. He also voiced a track called ‘Put Up Your Hand’ which was a soundtrack for a local film called Flight of the Ibis.
Troublesome then headed to Jamaica, his Father’s land of birth, to stay with his cousin Carol Rose and her husband Mykal Rose-the singer. Mykal Rose took him to his studios where he voiced some more tracks. One was released entitled ‘Africa whe we from’ produced by Rap Rose. Troublesome then went back to England as a young man and linked up with Daddy Noddy, a local producer in Brixton, where Troublesome lived. Daddy Noddy welcomed him into the camp where he had other artists who he worked with like Sandeeno, Black Rhino, Golden Melody, Horsemen…..the list goes on and anyone not mentioned big up still.
Troublesome produced his own track called ‘Put it in Deep’ on his own label SW9. He hired the studio of the riddim kings for Reggae music in the Uk-Mafia & Fluxy. When they heard him, they offered to produce him for their own projects. The first single was called ‘Huckleberry’ which got a very good response from the public, remixed by DJ Luck & Shy Cookie which had an even bigger response and became a classic in the UK garage music world.
Mafia & Fluxy also released a track called ‘Gyal Control’ which did well in Europe & also a track called ‘Wok a Wella’, a combination with Kofi Brown called ‘My Man’, another called ‘Positive’ and many more….and more to come.
Troublesome also has an album with producer Mad Proffesor and various singles by various producers waiting to explode. He still works with Mafia & Fluxy and he is working on an album in America (producer Big East) broadening his horizons……..well what else do you expect from the versatile Troublesome?
