About

I’m married and a proud dad to two energetic boys who keep life exciting! Music is at the heart of everything I do—whether I’m performing or teaching, it’s my absolute passion. When I’m not making music, you’ll often find me sketching or creating new artwork, as I love bringing ideas to life visually too. I’m big on getting outdoors—cycling, playing sports, or just staying active. And thanks to my English roots, soccer (EPL football, of course!) will always be my number one sport.

Richie played for us at our wedding and he is the most professional and accommodating musician ever! He was really easy to communicate with and was very responsive. We had ideas on the type of music and style we wanted him to play at our wedding, so we gave him a list of songs as reference and he was able to play those requested songs or the style with no issues. We received feedback from our guests that he was excellent and really set the mood/vibes. I highly recommend him for any party and I look forward to booking him again for our next party. 😊
