Sticky Blood are a music production duo from the UK.

Based in Sheffield, Sticky Blood have been working and continue working with new artists, song writers and producers from all different corners of the genre spectrum.

Sticky Blood are continuously looking for new, inspiring artists to collaborate with to try and create something exciting.
