Richard Fink IV is the co-founder of Castle Nine Entertainment and has been instrumental in the recent development of both major and independent artists as a vocal coach, songwriter and producer.
Since the age of fourteen, Richard has written and/or produced hundreds of songs spanning Pop,
Rock, Country, Latin, R&B, and Progressive genres with various artists, including multi-platinum vocalist Russell Thompkins Jr. (Stylistics) and up-and-
coming artists signed to EMI, Sony, Warner Bros, and Atlantic Records. Richard also co-wrote and produced the music for “Dangerous Grounds”, from the Emmy nominated MobiJoke series competing against NBC’s “The Office”.
After more than 20 years of hands-on experience in the music industry and several
years of independent study with world renown vocal teachers, Richard has had the opportunity to teach a wide range of students from aspiring
young rock bands to Broadway stars and platinum-selling artists. His reputation and vocal expertise has led to
teaching master classes on “Vocal Care” and “Performance Anxieties”, providing college credit to students, and judging
several talent competitions such as the 2004 Colgate Country Music Awards and the international 2008 New Stars competition in Herceg Novi, Montenegro (former
Yugoslavia).
Richard’s versatile and powerful four-octave vocal range has made him an award winning vocalist for Broadway style solo performances as
Jesus (Jesus Christ Superstar), Jean Val Jean (Les Miserables), Chris (Miss Saigon), and The Phantom (Phantom Of The Opera). His
voice has also been featured on several studio projects such as Save Naïve by the hard rock band Scattered Ink, and Speaking to Stones released
on Lion Music Finland.
While developing artists for Castle Nine Entertainment, Richard has had several song placements in the top ten of the Myspace™
music charts in the categories of Pop, Country, R&B, Latin, and Soul. In 2006, his co-writing and production participation won the title of “Best Song of the Year”
from NextBigHit.com for the song “One Mistake”, by the artist Carmireli. Recently, Richard has been co-writing with several multi-platinum selling
songwriters and won first place with co-writer/producer Johnny Cummings for the song "Ostani", performed by Aleksandra at the 2008 Suncane Skale competition,
televised throughout Europe.
Richard travels throughout the world seeking and working with new talent. Interactive private vocal lessons and coaching with Richard,

Hey Richard..... working on the schedule to see when my mom and I can come up there. It has been pretty busy for me too! Can't wait to finish our song :) Have a great Halloween weekend!
I know it's been a while but I hope everything is well with you. I just finished a co-write with an awesome poet/songwriter. This is a little different than the norm, it's about a man having to battle with putting his dog to sleep. If you get a chance, tell me what you think.
