Labrinth Biography: Wife, Songs, Age, Net Worth, Parents, Kids, Height, Albums

Labrinth, born Timothy Lee McKenzie on March 4, 1989, in Hackney, London, is a British singer, songwriter, and record producer celebrated for his genre-blending sound that fuses orchestral grandeur with pop, electronic, and gospel influences.

He rose to prominence in the early 2010s with hits like “Earthquake” and “Beneath Your Beautiful,” before becoming globally recognized as the Emmy-winning composer behind HBO’s Euphoria, where his haunting score and songs, including the Grammy-nominated “All for Us” with Zendaya, became inseparable from the show’s emotional identity.

In March 2026, Labrinth publicly distanced himself from Euphoria and Columbia Records in a pointed Instagram post, just weeks ahead of the show’s third-season premiere. He later confirmed he had removed his music from the new season, explaining that he doesn’t let people mistreat him even when he respects a project’s creative vision.

Despite the split, he delivered a defiant, scene-stealing performance at Coachella 2026, dropping a new track hours before a sneak screening of the Euphoria season three premiere.

Musically, Labrinth has been deep into his “Cosmic Opera” era, releasing Act I in January 2026 and following it with Cosmic Opera Act II in May, a 12-track project expanding on the first installment’s blend of symphonic, electronic, and gospel-tinged songwriting.

He is set to support the project with “The Undoing” tour, a U.S. run combining headline club shows with full-orchestra performances, kicking off July 31 in Los Angeles.

Early Life & Education

Labrinth was born Timothy Lee McKenzie on January 4, 1989, in Hackney, London, England, making him a Capricorn. He is of Jamaican descent, with some accounts also noting partial Canadian heritage, and was raised in a Christian household.

His father, Mr. McKenzie, is a musician, and his mother, Mrs. McKenzie, is a singer; their shared passion for black gospel music filled the family home throughout his childhood. Labrinth is one of nine siblings, several of whom are musicians in their own right.

His known siblings are McKNasty McKenzie, Steve McKenzie, Mac McKenzie (also known as Mac 1), ShezAr McKenzie, and Sharrelle McKenzie.

Mac McKenzie is a producer who introduced him to studio recording at age 15, and ShezAr McKenzie later co-mentored a vocal collective alongside him. As children, the siblings formed a family band called Mac 9, drawing on gospel, hip-hop, and pop influences from artists like the Wu-Tang Clan and the Backstreet Boys.

Labrinth attended Stoke Newington School in London, where his focus on music outweighed his interest in academics. He never pursued formal higher education in music, instead developing his craft informally over several years, studying music theory independently and refining his sound through home studio experimentation before launching his professional career in 2009.

Career

Labrinth began his professional career in 2009 as a producer, scoring his first notable placement with “Dead End” for fellow British artist Master Shortie on the album A.D.H.D.

That work caught the attention of EMI Music Publishing, which offered him a publishing deal and opened the door to writing and producing for other artists.

Around the same period, he mentored the Urban Development Vocal Collective alongside his sister ShezAr McKenzie, contributing production to their nine-track project Urban Development and working with rising names like Wretch 32, Chip, Maverick Sabre, and Devlin.

His breakthrough came in February 2010 when he produced and co-wrote “Pass Out” for British rapper Tinie Tempah, appearing uncredited as a featured vocalist. The single reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, earned platinum certification, and won Best British Single at the 2011 Brit Awards and Best Contemporary Song at the 2011 Ivor Novello Awards.

The duo followed up with “Frisky,” which peaked at number two in the UK. The success caught the attention of Simon Cowell, who signed Labrinth to his label, Syco Music, in June 2010, making him the first artist in six years to be signed to the label without coming through a televised talent show.

Through Syco, Labrinth released his debut solo single, “Let the Sun Shine,” in September 2010, followed by “Earthquake” featuring Tinie Tempah in 2011, both of which were top-five hits in the UK. His debut album, Electronic Earth, arrived in April 2012, peaking at number two on the UK Albums Chart.

The album’s standout single, “Beneath Your Beautiful,” featuring Emeli Sandé, became his first number-one hit in the UK and his first US Billboard Hot 100 entry, and it also earned a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single. He closed out the year with the free EP Atomic, featuring collaborations with Plan B and Ed Sheeran.

Throughout the mid-2010s, Labrinth built a reputation as one of pop and R&B’s most in-demand writer-producers, contributing to records by Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, and others. His 2014 single “Jealous,” written in Nashville, became a platinum-selling hit in the UK and drew praise from artists including Adele and Jessie Ware.

In 2015, his production work on The Weeknd‘s album Beauty Behind the Madness earned him his first Grammy Award nomination for Album of the Year, and he later contributed to The Weeknd’s 2016 album Starboy.

In 2018, Labrinth formed the supergroup LSD alongside Sia and Diplo, releasing singles “Genius,” “Audio,” and “Thunderclouds.” That same period, he co-produced the soundtrack for The Lion King: The Gift and co-wrote the single “Spirit” with Beyoncé and Ilya Salmanzadeh, earning nominations at the Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.

Since 2019, Labrinth’s most defining body of work has been his role as composer for HBO’s Euphoria. This position earned him a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for “All for Us” featuring Zendaya, alongside additional Emmy nominations.

His haunting scores and original songs across the show’s first two seasons became central to its emotional identity. In March 2026, he publicly severed ties with Euphoria and Columbia Records ahead of the show’s third-season premiere, citing creative and industry frustrations. However, he still appeared at Coachella 2026 with a defiant new performance.

Beyond Euphoria, Labrinth has continued an active solo career, releasing his “Cosmic Opera” project across two installments in 2026, Act I in January and Act II in May, and announcing “The Undoing” tour, a U.S. run pairing club shows with full-orchestra performances beginning July 31 in Los Angeles.

Over the course of his career, he has also worked as a writer and producer for artists including Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, and Noah Cyrus, cementing his reputation as one of the most versatile figures in modern British music.
