Labrinth, who's real name is Timothy McKenzie, was born 21 March 1989(23), is an English singer-songwriter and record producer. McKenzie is signed to Simon Cowell's label Syco, becoming the first non-talent show signing in six years.
He made his debut appearance on the UK Singles Chart in March 2010, when his collaboration with British rapper Tinie Tempah "Pass Out" which reached number one.
His first solo single was "Let the Sun Shine" which was released in September 2010, reaching number three in the charts. His debut album Electronic Earth was released on 2 April 2012, having been preceded by the singles "Earthquake" featuring Tinie Tempah and "Last Time" and also the song I have chosen for my music video, "Treatment".
Not only does Labrinth work alongside Tinie Tempah but also with artists such as Professor Green for the track "Oh My God" on the album Alive til I'm Dead, Ola Svensson for the track "Let It Hit You" on her album Ola and Loick Essien for "Love Drunk" for the album Identity.
Labrinth is working on new songs for a follow up album and said there may be elements of rock music. He said "I’m definitely going to make rock songs, without a doubt. A lot of the records on my album had rock elements, but I wouldn’t say they were rock. I haven’t got into the live room, but on the next album that’s definitely going to happen."
Labrinth's music videos are very rarely narrative, they are mainly peformance music videos where you can see the artist. This is another reason as to why I would like to make my music video to his song a narrative because other than one of his songs it has not really been done. The single where he has decided to have a narrative music video is 'Last Time' where it tells the story of a young boy discovering a new world and makes an alien friend:
Here are examples of his music videos where they are just performance:
