Perhaps the most famous and recognizable member of The Prodigy is Keith Charles Flint. Photos of his bizarre outfits and extravagant hairstyles became the hallmark of the whole group. She was one of the pioneers and developers of a new style of music at that time - big beat.
The Prodigy developed this direction along with The Crystal Method, The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim, however, they always took first places in the chats and hearts of fans.
Whale Biography
Keith Charles Flint was born in the family of Yvonne and Clive Flint in 1969, September 17. His family did not stand out from the gray mass of the majority. Almost all of the boy’s childhood passed in the east of London. When he was 6 years old, the family moved to live in Essex, the city of Springfield. However, there he did not have to stay long. Keith Charles Flint, the future vocalist of The Prodigy, spent his youthful years in Braintree, where he studied at school. By a happy coincidence, he went to the same school as his future colleague in the group. However, she did not introduce them at all. Due to different age categories, Keith and Liam studied separately and did not have mutual friends.
Fateful meeting
Only by the end of the 80s, fate brought Liam Howlett and Keith Flint to one of the rave clubs. Keith attended almost all the parties. Liam already in these years was engaged in music and acted as a DJ. Keith still needed a little time to realize that music would be his vocation, but still he immediately liked what Liam played, and he asked me to listen to his recordings.
After what he heard, he again met with Howlett, but with special zeal he began to insist that the tracks of his own production sound on the stage. As a dancer, he proposed his candidacy and Lyroe Thornhill, his old friend. With such frenzied enthusiasm already in 1990, the world heard the new British band The Prodigy. By the way, the name came to the name of the group to Howlett, and he did it in honor of his first synthesizer - Moog Prodigy.
Adult but not serious life
Despite a very modest education and little academic success, Kit was one of the first to find a job. He tried to find something that would bring joy to his life, and constantly changed professions. He never had a shortage of money. He regularly visited fashionable parties and quickly got involved. Kit did not miss almost any party. To fit fashion clubs, he could buy himself a shirt for sixty pounds and pants for one hundred and fifty. Around this time, he had a half-brother, Gary, who greatly influenced his worldview and future life, as Keith himself claimed.
Tired of routine, he decides to abandon his design career, and instead take a light motorcycle and tirelessly drive around the city on it. He stopped only if it was necessary to fix the belt on his leather jacket or to hammer in the next “jamb”. It was at this time that he had fun and came off to the fullest, but even this was not enough for him, he did not know where to put all his energy.
In the end, as fast as he got on a motorcycle, he got off his tears and presented it to his long-time friend, and at the same time he sold all his belongings. Leaving himself only the most necessary things that could fit in a small backpack, he goes on a long journey through the Middle East. His tour lasted eight months. During this time, Kit managed to visit almost all countries of Europe and North Africa. But, not achieving the desired result, he returned home and was already seriously carried away by the rave.
Music career
Since the formation of the group in 1990, Keith Charles Flint was involved in it only as a dancer, but already in 1996 showed his musical abilities as a vocalist in the single Firestarter. It was in the video that accompanied the single that Keith Charles Flint, the vocalist, appeared in public in his new image, which later became part of his life and the hallmark of the group. Next came his second single, Breathe, where he sang in a duet with Maxim Reality.
His role in the group as a vocalist grew stronger and developed. Already in 1997, the album The Fatofthe Land already had four songs in his performance (Fuel My Fire, Firestarter, Serial Thrilla and Breathe). For the entire creative career of the collective, this particular album was named the most successful, largely due to the vocal data and charisma possessed by Keith Charles Flint.
The next release, released in 2002, was more influenced by Keith's punk style. Later, Howlett himself spoke disapprovingly of Baby's Got a Temper's release as being uncharacteristic of their group. Due to these allegations, disagreements arose between Keith and Liam, which affected the fullness of the next album singles. In 2004, the album Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, was released, where there was not a single song performed by Flint.
In the 2009 Invaders Must Die album, Keith's vocals could be heard again. He participated in recording such tracks: RunwiththeWolves, TakeMetotheHospital, Colors and Omen. In 2015, their latest album, The Day Is My Enemy, was released.
Solo work
Keith Charles Flint tried to experiment with solo projects. He created Clever Brains Fryin 'and FLINT. Despite his efforts, they managed to finish only one commercial single of the band FLINT called AIM 4. It was supposed to release a solo album, but it was canceled right before the scheduled release date.
True love
The vocalist of The Prodigy Keith Charles Flint, whose personal life was hidden from the majority, in public found fame as the most violent and extravagant member of the group. However, after meeting with an amazing girl - a DJ, Kit's life has changed dramatically.
They met in Tokyo, in one of the clubs where Mayumi played records under the pseudonym Super Megabitch. It was then that he realized who he loves more than music, and what he so lacked in life. During the marriage, he refused drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Now this is a completely different Keith Charles Flint. The wife fully shares her husband's passion for motorcycles and simply adores dogs.
