Muck Sticky
Justin M. Osburn (born October 29, 1977), known by his stage name Muck Sticky, is an American musician, songwriter, actor and artist. Muck Sticky has self-released thirty-two albums since 2004, and was featured on the MTV series, $5 Cover. His music, videos, and live performances make use of self-aware humor and outrageous costumes lampooning the cannabis culture. CareerBorn and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Muck Sticky comes from a long line of musicians. His great-grandparents founded one of the first gospel bluegrass quartets in 1929 known as The Wayfaring Strangers, and both of his grandfathers were well known musicians. One was Gene Lowery of The Dixie Four who often recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, and sang backing vocals for artists like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Charlie Rich. Between the ages of 16-23, Sticky was employed in many different fields including carpentry, restaurant service, bricklaying, water park lifeguard, and ice cream truck driver. In the year 2000, with the money he earned from his manual laborer job at a local convention service company, he bought an 8-track recorder and began creating his first album. In January 2001, he gave his first live performance at a “Battle of the Bands” concert in his hometown Memphis, TN. Since Sticky recorded all of his music alone, he decided to attach wigs, hats, sunglasses, and instruments to 6-foot tall floor lamps and call them his “band”. To this day he frequently brings them on stage during his shows, but the show has grown to include his mother, sister, best friends, and his fans. Sticky was featured on the MTV series $5 Cover, which centers around the careers of singers from the Memphis, TN area. The show is produced by Craig Brewer, director and writer of the 2005 movie, Hustle & Flow.[1] He has released a feature film entitled Muscadine Wine. A review described Sticky as an artist who "comes across as a backwoods midpoint between Beck and Mungo Jerry...somewhere between Slim Shady and Weird Al."[2] Muck Sticky released ten brand new albums on Friday, June 28th, 2024 to set a new official Guinness World Record for ‘Most Studio Albums Released On The Same Day By The Same Musical Act’.
