Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Sticky was born Kirk Jones. He
launched his career performing with cousin Fredro Starr. They were
soon discovered by late Hip Hop legend Jam Master Jay of Run D.M.C.
The duo formed Onyx and in 1993 released their first album, entitled
“Bacdafucup,” which has sold millions of copies worldwide and
spawned Hip Hop classics such as “Slam” and “Throw Ya Gunz.” Onyx
went on to release two more top selling albums before Sticky Fingaz
began his solo rap career. After making appearances on
multi-platinum albums including Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP”
and Snoop Doggy Dogg’s “The Top Dogg,” Sticky released his first
solo album in 2000, entitled “Blacktrash: The Autobiography Of Kirk
Jones.” His second solo album, “Decade,” followed in 2003.
Sticky’s musical career segued him naturally into the acting world.
He has starred in a number of high profile films, including “Clockers,”
“Dead Presidents,” “In Too Deep,” “Next Friday,” “Flight Of The
Phoenix” and the upcoming Bollywood film, “Karma, Confessions And
Holi.” Sticky Fingaz has also found his way on to the small screen
in guest starring roles on highly acclaimed shows such as “New York
Undercover,” “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” “Twilight Zone,” “CSI:
Miaimi,” HBO’s “Tell Me You Love Me” and his infamous recurring
character, Kern Little, on “The Shield.” He also starred in UPN’s
Francis Ford Coppola-produced drama, “Platinum.” Recently, Sticky
Fingaz was seen weekly as the star of FX’s controversial drama
series based on the Iraqi war, “Over There,” executive produced by
Steven Bochco. The show premiered with the eighth biggest cable
numbers of any series in history.
Sticky became the superhero he’s always wanted to be in the New Line
series “Blade: The Series”, based on highly successful Marvel Comic
books and feature films. It premiered on Spike TV pulling record
ratings for the network and has broken ratings records in major
foreign markets. The limited edition DVD for “Blade: House Of Chthon”
is in stores now.
In addition, Sticky has just completed two feature films via his
production company, Major Independents, entitled “A Day In The Life”
and “Caught On Tape.” He wrote, directed, executive produced and
stars in these progressive, Shakespearian-street, Hip Hop musicals.
The all-star casts include Omar Epps, Faizon Love, Mekhi Phifer,
Cedric The Entertainer, Vivica A. Fox, Michael Rappaport, Drena De
Niro, Fredro Starr, Clarence Williams III and Bokeem Woodbine.
Lionsgate Films will be distributing both films.
Sticky is featured in the new Electronic Arts video game “Def Jam
Icon.” His future holds a third solo album, an Onyx reunion album, a
starring role alongside Busta Rhymes in the upcoming feature film
“Order Of Redemption”, a co-star turn with Patrick Swayze in A&E’s
new series “The Beast” and a supporting role in the Sophie Monk film
“Hard Breakers”.
