Ricky Husbands brings a unique and vibrant cross-cultural energy to the music scene,the product of numerous years of exposure to distinct styles and rhythms (Reggae ,Samba ,Soca, Ballads and Funk among others.)Born in Georgetown Guyana to carribean immigrants ,his introduction to music was through his local church where the gospel music awakened not only his ability to sing but to perform as well.It was in this comfort zone of music and audience that Ricky's professional career began to blossom.Later traveling in his native land ,in neighboring Suriname ,French Guiana and Brasil ,coupled withexposure to many prominent and acclaimed artists ,he assimilated styles and rhythms of many distinct cultures and has translated these through his own personality into music which taps the chords in the listener's hearts and minds.
It all started when Ricky met Vibert Arron drummer/producer of the Ambassadors Band ,invited to participate in a fund raising event Ricky won the hearts of the crowd .After some time with Ambassadors ,Curtis MG'S ,Family Affairs and Vikings ,Ricky was invited by Rukiza Okera to record some original songs .Guyana had no professonal studio at that time so they departed to Suriname and with the help of Wilfred "Febbo" Febuary they recorded withProducer Antoon Sang AJang of the Ventu Studios "Blowing Hot &Cold" success in Suriname ,Holland ,French Guiana and Guyana .In 1987 -89 Ricky toured Brasil with Duehsmo Syndicate first in Maranhâo ,Rio de Janeiro ,Sao Paulo ,Brasilia and Salvador .

They started playing in all the shopping centers and that caught the eyes and minds of the public ,soon they where invited to perform in all important Events in Bahia and other parts of Brasil.
