She has subsequently worked as a solo artist and with other musicians, including Erasure and Boy George, who described her music as "the dirtiest 'slackest' reggae I'd heard since the seventies". ==Background== Growing up in Marylebone,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Feral sound, kinky style )〕 Geary lived adjacent to an after-hours party which blasted out reggae music;〔 as a result, Geary was exposed to reggae from a very young age. It is these experiences which inspired her to write the controversial song Everything Starts With An 'E' as part of E-Zee Possee, which was banned by the BBC because of its lyrics〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pump Up The Volume )〕 and made #69 in the UK Singles Chart in 1989, leaving the chart after only one week; however it was re-released less than a year later in March 1990 and climbed to #15 on the UK chart,〔 spending eight weeks in the chart.〔 Kinky's first solo single, the Apollo 440 produced "Get Over It",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=List of songs Apollo 440 have produced a remix for )〕 reached #95 on the UK Singles Chart.〔 Her only solo top 75 hit, coming five years later, was Everybody, released under the name "Kinky", which charted at #71 on that chart.〔 Kinky has been touring underground, occasionally providing vocals for other artists. In 1997, she took a residency in Ibiza as "the Infidel",〔 operating under the name for a week〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Feral aka MC Kinky )〕 before writing an album called Cantankerous and taking up the name for herself.〔 When a member of staff at Club Motherfucker described her sound as "feral pop",〔 she became "Feral" and finally ended up with "Feral aka MC Kinky"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hear that voice: Glass meets Feral aka MC Kinky )〕 and "FERALisKINKY" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MC Kinky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
