Anthony Ray (born August 12 1963) , known as Sir Mix-a-Lot, is a Grammy Award-winning rapper and producer from Seattle, Washington. He is commonly known as having revolutionized the deep bass heard in most modern hip hop tracks.

Born Anthony Ray in Seattle on August 12, 1963, Sir Mix-a-lot is the champion of north-west-coast hip hop. Where there was previously no scene, he created it with fun, bass heavy tracks that got your booty shakin’. Indeed, booty shakin was the intention - Mix-a-lot’s career track was “Baby Got Back” a groovy cut about thick booty that topped bill board charts and signalled the high point of his career. Notable favorites; “Posse on Broadway” (rapping about a street in Seattle, not NY)
