ABOUT THE ARTIST

unique wit). Richard has performed at major western music festivals throughout the West and has traveled to perform as far away as China. Many of Richard’s songs have been recorded by other artists. A lifelong learner, he
was awarded his master’s degree in creative writing in 2024.
