Keith Flint (born 17 September 1969) is a dancer and vocalist of the British big beat band The Prodigy.

Early life[link]

Flint was born in Redbridge, London, England, to Clive & Yvonne Flint^[1] and initially raised in East London; in the mid-1970s his parents moved out to Springfield, Essex, but due to his parents' divorce, Flint spent a number of his adolescent years in Braintree, and for a time attended the Alec Hunter High School. His band mate Liam Howlett attended the same school, but due to the difference in ages they did not team up till after leaving school.

Music career[link]

In the late 1980s he met DJ Liam Howlett in a rave club and expressed his appreciation of Howlett's taste in music. After receiving a mixtape from Howlett, Flint came back with great enthusiasm, insisting that Howlett should be playing his tracks up on stage, and that Flint, along with friend Leeroy Thornhill, would dance to them.

Originally Flint was the band's dancer, but in 1996 he featured as the vocalist on the hit single "Firestarter". The accompanying video showcased Flint's new punk look. This trend continued with the next Prodigy single "Breathe", on which Flint performed the backing vocals, whilst Maxim performed lead. The 1997 album The Fat of the Land featured Flint's vocal contributions to several tracks, namely "Breathe", "Serial Thrilla", "Fuel My Fire" and "Firestarter". The album's success, becoming the most successful dance album of all time^{[citation needed]}, forced Flint into the media spotlight. In 2002 the single "Baby's Got a Temper" was released. At the time Flint and Howlett were having disagreements.^{[citation needed]} On the next Prodigy album, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned (2004), Flint did not perform any vocals, although he did appear on the "Hotride – El Batori Mix," on the "Hotride" single.

Flint and live guitarist Rob Holliday

The latest Prodigy album, Invaders Must Die, was released on 23 February 2009 and features vocals by Flint on multiple tracks, including; Take Me to the Hospital, Run with the Wolves and Colours.

Flint has experimented with several solo/side projects, including the bands Flint and Clever Brains Fryin'. Only one single, Aim4 by FLINT, was released commercially, with FLINT's debut album "Device #1" being cancelled before release. A very rare promotional copy of "Device #1" can be found, however it does not contain all the tracks which were originally meant to appear on the final release. Songs in this album include:

1. Asteroids
2. Piggy
3. Laughs
4. Aim
5. Kamikaze
6. Prescription
7. Ju Lu,
8. Femmefatale
9. Vacation
10. Razor

Personal life[link]

Flint dated TV presenter Gail Porter before her marriage to Toploader guitarist Dan Hipgrave, moving in together in a house in Essex. They were known as 'Beauty and the Beast' due to Gail's innocent beauty and Flint's appearance. The couple split in 2000, because it was too far away for Porter to commute on a daily basis for her work in the city and their relationship wasn't working out. Flint is married to Japanese DJ Mayumi Kai.

During the late 1990s, when The Prodigy were at their commercial peak, Flint became known in the UK press for his extensive body piercing and tattooing. In an interview, he stated that his most painful tattoo was the text "Inflicted" across his stomach. He stated that it felt like he was on an altar being ritualistically scarred by a Satanic beast. The tattoo was designed by bandmate Liam Howlett.

Flint is a keen motorcyclist. He rode the 1500 miles from Britain to Southern Spain to attend the 2007 Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix, and also races in club competitions. He now has his own motorcycle team, 'Team Traction Control' which he races in the 2011 Hottrax Endurance events. Flint is also a supporter of London football team West Ham United.
