Robert Del Naja Biography
Robert Del Naja is one of the most popular and richest British artist who was born on January 21, 1965 in Bristol, England, United Kingdom. Neil Davidge and Del Naja teamed up to create Mezzanine in 1998, Massive Attack’s most successful commercial album. It sold nearly 4 million copies.
Since 2003, Del Naja has co-designed all of Massive Attack’s lighting shows with UVA; the shows have been overtly political, dealing with current local and international issues.
In 2005, Del Naja organised and performed at a charity concert in Bristol for Tsunami Relief with Adrian Utley and Geoff Barrow of Portishead. The two-night event featured Massive Attack, Portishead, Robert Plant, The Coral and Damon Albarn. Del Naja and Marshall performed three shows in 2005 in support of Hoping, an organisation that helps raise money, support projects for Palestinian youth in refugee camps in the Gaza strip and the west bank, Lebanon and Syria.
Del Naja began rapping in Bristol with the Wild Bunch around the mid-1980s. As a music producer, he is also one of the founders of Massive Attack in Bristol. He was the only singer to appear on all of their albums and EPs. Their 1991 album, “Blue Lines”, was their first release and received critical acclaim.
Del Naja is known for being the first graffiti artist to be born in Bristol. He is also known as the founder of stencil graffiti and the one who brought graffiti culture and hip hop from the United States to Bristol during the 1980s.
Del Naja has been critical of the government policies of the United Kingdom. He was strongly opposed to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and with fellow musician Damon Albarn personally paid for full page adverts in the NME magazine. On the eve of the invasion of Iraq, they tried to organise a group of prominent musicians into an anti-war campaign, only according to Del Naja to be greeted with silence bordering on hostility. Massive Attack have previously played two shows in Israel, but have declined recent offers. They have described this “not an action of aggression towards the Israeli people” but “towards the [Israeli] government and its policies”, arguing that “the Palestinians [in Gaza and the west bank] have no access to the same fundamental benefits that the Israelis do.”

In a 2010 interview, Del Naja said “Painting is difficult for me because I’m colour blind. Back in the day, I had to label my spray cans with what colour they were because I couldn’t tell. It’s like the emperor’s new clothes: [people] telling me it’s great, and me pretending that’s what I intended.” Del Naja’s first solo art show ran in the Lazarides gallery, central London from 24 May to 22 June. The show featured many of the works he created for Massive Attack, reinterpreted especially for the exhibition.

Del Naja and Massive Attack’s producer Neil Davidge collaborated with United Visual Artists on the large scale installation ‘Volume’ at London’s V&A museum in 2006. It consists of a field of 48 luminous, sound-emitting columns that respond to movement. Visitors weave a path through the sculpture, creating their own unique journey in light and music.
Having previously boycotted playing at Bristol’s Colston Hall due to its connection with the city’s historic slave trade, in October 2012, Del Naja heavily criticised Bristol Mayor candidate George Ferguson because of his membership of a local organisation the Society of Merchant Venturers. The organisation dates back to the 16th century and had many connections with the Bristol slave trade, continuing to this day as an elitist private organisation, open to very few by invitation only. In November 2012, Del Naja then took a surprising stance to reverse his position and endorse George Ferguson. Del Naja was cited by local media as saying that the other candidates had only party political agendas at heart and a newly elected mayor needed more imagination to help implement creative projects for Bristol.
