A visionary music producer with a lifelong passion for sound, Richard has built a career spanning both the commercial music industry and youth development. He has worked with and produced for artists including Stormzy, Ray J, K Koke, and Jess Glynne and has also completed remixes for global acts such as Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, and Ella Eyre. This experience has grounded his practice in high-level production while maintaining a strong connection to authentic, grassroots music culture.

​

Alongside his studio career, Richard developed extensive experience working with young people with social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND/ASN). Through work in schools and alternative provision settings, he identified a consistent gap in engagement for learners who were often excluded or underserved by traditional education systems.

​

This directly led to the creation of The Music Klub, established to provide a structured, music-led environment where young people can engage creatively, build confidence, and develop emotional regulation skills. The organisation uses music production, songwriting, and studio-based learning as tools to re-engage learners and support personal development.
