Born in Austria and now residing in England, Trickster is a musician whose life story is as captivating as his music. From a broken family and a tumultuous childhood to triumphs and trials around the world, Trickster’s journey is an extraordinary tale of perseverance and transformation.

At the tender age of 10, Trickster ran away from home with the hope of reuniting his parents. This early act of determination set the stage for a life filled with audacity and ambition. Despite facing rejection from music school due to doubts about his talent, Trickster’s passion for music remained unwavering. He started playing the piano at the age of 3 and resigned to performing in strip clubs by the time he turned 16.

Trickster’s path took unpredictable turns, including brushes with the law and a prison sentence at the age of 18 for financial missteps. However, these setbacks did not define him. Trickster became a polyglot, speaking an impressive 11 languages, and even served as a pilot and a soldier. Along his extraordinary journey, he traveled to 97 countries, leaving behind an indelible mark wherever he went.

While Trickster experienced both highs and lows, his commitment to charitable causes remained constant. Through his success in high-risk oil and gas transactions in Latin America, he was fortunate enough to make a difference. He generously donated nearly 50% of his income to those in need and actively supported charity events.

Trickster’s life took a dramatic turn in 2017 during a perilous car accident in South France. Depicted in his latest single release ‘Still Kicking’, the incident resulted in the loss of all his physical assets, engulfed in a ball of flames, including evidence crucial to his work, which led to another – unjust – run in with the law. Astonishingly, he survived the accident unscathed, defying all odds and leaving authorities and witnesses astounded.

“I don’t know how, I don’t know why, there must be a reason why I didn’t die.

I can’t pretend, it don’t make sense, somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night”

– Lyrics from ‘Still Kicking’

This life-altering experience further solidified Trickster’s belief in the power of gratitude and resilience. Embracing his deep appreciation for nature and mountains, he vows to support nature-related projects through his musical success. In the coming year, Trickster plans to establish the largest talent factory in the UK, providing much-needed support to young individuals who, like him, lacked the necessary guidance during their formative years.

Trickster’s musical journey is a testament to the indomitable spirit and the transformative power of music. Through his unique blend of resilience, adventure, and giving back, he is set to captivate audiences around the world with his extraordinary story and the melodies he creates.

Full Lyrics

Woke up in my hotel lobby, not a scratch on my whole body Don’t know how the hell that I survived

Last thing that I can remember, coming off a three-day bender Made my peace that it was just my time

I don’t know how, I don’t know why

There must be a reason why I didn’t die

I can’t pretend, it don’t make sense.

Somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night

One more night, One more night

Black cat sat upon my belly, maybe it was tryna tell me Resurrection doesn’t come for free

Now I’ve had time for reflection, I’m stronger after hell’s rejection I’ve seen things that you’re not suppose to see

I don’t know how, I don’t know why

There must be a reason why I didn’t die

I can’t pretend, it don’t make sense.

Somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night

One more night, One more night

Somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night One more night, One more night

Somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night

I don’t know how, I don’t know why

There must be a reason why I didn’t die

I can’t pretend, it don’t make sense.

Somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night

I don’t know how, I don’t know why

There must be a reason why I didn’t die

I can’t pretend, it don’t make sense.

Somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night

I don’t know how, I don’t know why

Somehow I’m still kicking it for one more night
