Richard grew up surrounded by music, it’s in his blood, it came to him like learning to talk. Writing songs just seemed like the next logical step.
He grew up in Halifax and always wanted to be a musician. He started busking at the age of 12 and gigging at 16. Then spending 3 years studying songwriting at ICMP in London where he made the decision to write with other artists instead of for himself. Since then he’s been working with a variety of artists in different genres including Lauren Alex Hooper and Sophie Frear who’ve both had Unsigned Chart entries before.
Now Richard enters a single in his own right.
