Born in New Jersey in 1981, Richard began playing the piano at the age
of 12 years old. As he grew older, he started writing his own
instrumentals. While in the US Navy, Richard wrote poetry to help pass
the time. Eventually, he started reciting his poetry to his
instrumentals, which led to producing and performing underground hip
hop music between 2005-2009. In 2010, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue
a career and education in the film score industry. Since then, Richard
has composed original film music for several short films, as well as
served as the audio engineer for multiple projects. In addition, he has
produced music for commercials and movie trailers, while engineering
privately for hip hop artists.
