ABOUT
Originally from the United States, Florida, Rickey comes from a long line of drummers… from his grandfather to his father… he continues to carry on the tradition that goes back over 80 years. He is driven by a true love of creating music and playing drums.
Over time he has crafted a hard-hitting but melodic approach to drumming. Rickey has also enjoyed studio work, movie soundtracks, VH1 Warped Tour, radio play etc.
Rickey has had the privilege of working with young talent to seasoned musicians… enjoying the diverse array of musical styles that the industry has to offer. “Because of this experience, I understand the challenges of being a musician. This helps me realize that there is always something new to learn, and drives me to continue my goal of creating great music…It’s always about the music….no matter what the industry says”
Rickey is an accomplished musician and his key strength lies is his adaptability with music styles from country to poprock to rap and death metal.
His passion and vision is to create great music to share with the rest of the world and to provide a product that fulfills the artist's every expectation, while entertaining the audience.
Most recently, in 2007 Rickey had the opportunity to produce some music videos and in May 2007, Rickey appeared as a member of the jury at the Emergenza Music Festival National Finals in Helsinki, Finland.
