Coming from two diverse backgrounds, Trixie Reiss and Ernie Lake had their first meeting on September 10th, 2001. Their goal was to collaborate their talents and make music that was new and exciting. The very next day was the day the world changed forever. Every artist, including Trixie and Ernie, had to re-think their ideals and how to deal with their music and audience. They put their project on hold and reconvened a while later to reignite their discussions, and ultimately TRICKY BIZZNISS was born. The name was fitting, as entering into a new venture during the difficult emotional era post-9/11 was, in itself, a tricky business move.
