Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ........ J Rice grew up listening to artists like Take 6, Boyz II Men, Brian Mcknight, Wynton Marsalis, Kenny G and many other R&B/Jazz greats. He lived in a simple house where his parents taught him to work for everything he wanted. At about age 11 he was running a paper route to pay for his first trumpet. It was obvious early on that J was blessed with a gift as he would move up through the ranks of his jr high. Later in High School he started taking his singing seriously and built his own studio in his bedroom. Equipment was expensive so he had to improvise with dental floss stapled to the ceiling holding up the mic and a cool whip lid with a hole in it and nylons stretched across for the spit guard. He released two independent albums “The Intro…” and “So Close” but felt he needed to be closer to where everything happens so he packed everything he could, and drove across the country to New York City from his home in Tacoma, Washington. When he arrived in NY, he immediately started meeting with any writers/producers he could, but none seemed to be the right fit. J recently teamed up with producers Phantom Boyz. He continues to write and grow as an artist and songwriter. On the underground level he gets an average of 10,000 views a day on youtube and has over 2,000,000 plays. .. ........ .. ..J Rice (RNB Pop Singer/Songwriter).............. -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT VETERAN'S DAY ...
"The SUMMER SOLDIER and the SUNSHINE PATRIOT will,
in this crisis, SHRINK from the service of their country;
but he that STANDS BY IT NOW, deserves the LOVE
and THANKS of man and woman. TYRANNY, like HELL
is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us,
that the HARDER THE CONFLICT, the MORE GLORIOUS
THE TRIUMPH. What we OBTAIN TOO CHEAP,
we ESTEEM TOO LIGHTLY: it is dearness only that gives
every thing its value."
~ Thomas Paine, December 23, 1776
GOD BLESS OUR BRAVE VETERANS! THEY KNOW,
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, THAT FREEDOM IS
NEVER FREE!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

Ask Yourself - Have You Been KIND TODAY ?
I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS MONTH - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT KINDNESS ...
One Million Acts Of Kindness is a goal. A goal for each person to individually perform One Million Acts Of Kindness in their lifetime. Can you imagine a greater goal for one's life?
Most of us think that changing the world is impossible. The world is too big…too many people in it…too many problems to solve. Do you often feel this way? While it’s understandable, be assured that it is not true!
NO ACT OF KINDNESS ~ HOWEVER SMALL IS EVER
WASTED! HOW MANY LIVES CAN WE CHANGE IF WE
PRACTICE KINDNESS EVERY DAY?
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard
