When Finley Quaye (born on 25 March 1974, in Leith, Edinburgh) won the 1998 Brit Award for Best British Male Solo Artist, he had been famous for less than a year. In 1997, he emerged from seemingly nowhere with a sunny mix of Reggae, Soul and jazzy Funk and claimed the hip Dance Pop throne previously occupied by the likes of Jamiroquai. Son of Jazz composer Cab Quaye, the brother of noted guitarist Caleb and allegedly the half-uncle of Trip Hop artist Tricky, Quaye made his recording debut in 1995 on A Guy Called Gerald's "Finley's Rainbow".
