Early Life and Education

Kirk Jones was born on November 3, 1973, in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Flatbush by his mother following his parents’ separation. He grew up with three siblings and had limited contact with his father.

As a teen, he was briefly involved with a local street gang, earning the nickname “Sticky Fingaz” from the slang for stealing. His family later moved to Bloomfield, New Jersey, where he attended Manhattan’s High School of Art and Design. He is African American, and his religious views are not publicly known.

Career

Kirk Jones, under the stage name Sticky Fingaz, launched his music career in 1991 when his cousin Fredro Starr invited him to join Onyx after meeting Jam Master Jay of Run-D.M.C. Initially performing as Trop, Jones recorded with Starr, leading to Onyx’s signing with JMJ Records.

Their debut album, Bacdafucup (1993), went multi-platinum, driven by the hit single “Slam,” with Jones’ raw delivery and vivid lyrics making him the group’s frontman. Onyx released two more albums, All We Got Iz Us (1995) and Shut ‘Em Down (1998), before Jones pursued solo work. His acting debut came in 1993 with a role in Forest Whitaker’s HBO drama Strapped, setting the stage for his dual career.

Jones released his debut solo album, Black Trash: The Autobiography of Kirk Jones (2001), a critically acclaimed concept album styled as a “hip-hopera” that traced a fictionalized version of his life, featuring artists like Eminem and Redman. Despite its creative success, it saw limited commercial traction.

His second album, Decade “…but wait it gets worse” (2003), was less well-received, and his third, It’s About T.I.M.E. (2019), was released as a “digital album movie” with an accompanying film. His acting career expanded with roles in films like Clockers (1995), Next Friday (2000), and Flight of the Phoenix (2004), and TV shows like The Shield and Blade: The Series (2006), where he played the titular role. He also voiced characters in video games like Def Jam: Fight for NY.

Jones continues to balance music, acting, and filmmaking through his production company, Major Independents. He wrote, directed, and starred in A Day in the Life (2009) and Caught on Tape (2013), both “hip-hopera” films blending narrative and music. His 2019 project It’s About T.I.M.E. furthered this innovative format.

In 2020, he was named president of the Hunger Aid Foundation, and in 2021, he founded K. Jones & Company, focusing on cultural strategy and brand building. Jones’ contributions to hardcore rap and his extensive acting portfolio underscore his enduring influence as a multifaceted artist.
