Richie

From childhood, Richie was tipped to be one of the biggest faces the music world would ever know. His music talents, he discovered at the age of 6 and has astounded crowds with his musical dexterity ever since. It comes as little surprise that at 22, he stands poised to outdoor his debut album, “All of Me”, a masterpiece that took 5 years of hard work and dedication.

“All of Me” is like music never before heard within Ghanaian shores, it blends music of different origin and diverse cultures in a perfect mix that is refreshing, remarkable and potentially everlasting in the minds of listeners. Richie is a stickler for perfection and this is evident in the quality of music he produces.

His music incorporates all aspects of his life.
Richie was born and raised in Accra, Ghana and is the youngest of three children. He describes himself as a true African, not afraid of exploring and utilizing ideas and emotions from every part of the world he finds himself. In an industry that is considered difficult especially, in Ghana, Richie’s couldn’t have made it without the support of his family, especially his mother, who has been a great source of inspiration.

He is a sound producer, a sound engineer, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and a singer; ironically, he studied Science in High School and has absolutely no formal music training, none whatsoever. Richie has tutored himself into a professional like none other.

He is a successful entrepreneur with his own record label, LYNX ENTERTAINMENT and Recording Studio, which he set up whilst studying Computer Software Engineering at NIIT. The years have been kind to Richie and to us obviously as his devotion to music slowly ensures his place amongst the stars and in our hearts.

He has worked with renowned Ghanaian artists, like Tinny, Okyeame Quame, Asem, Praye, Nana Fynn, Wutah, Batman Samini, Amandzeba, Irene & Jane, Becca, Bradez, Lady Prempeh, Echo, and Scientific. Internationally, Nigeria’s International Award winner 2face Idibia, Nigerian superstar Faze, and Hip-Hop icon Ja-Rule are additions to his list of associates.
