King Richard became Montreal's youngest and freshest talented DJ since he
played around with a pair of turntables for the first time in September 2006. He
soon landed residencies in Montreal's hottest night spots, taking both the
Canadian and, subsequently, the International DJ scene by storm. Even thought
his time on the DJ circuit has been of a short duration, his diverse and
experienced background in both the theory and performance of music has very much
contributed to his meteoric rise in the DJ world. He has a huge following in
Montreal playing at prestigious venues such as Stereo, Time Supperclub, 1234,
Medley, Parking, Circus Afterhours, Club Soda, Le Confessional, Balroom and at a
plethora of private events. On the international circuit, Richard has recently
played at Heaven ( London, U.K.), Platinum (Rabat, Morocco), at numerous
locations in Lecce (Italy) and at private functions in Paris (France), and
Krakow (Poland). He has played alongside the likes of Stonebridge, Denis the
Menace, Mylo, Chris Montana, Tone Depth, Fred Everything and Sultan. Even high
caliber artists such as NE-YO have invited King Richard to open for them. He
recently returned from a highly successful tour of South America headlining at
prestigious clubs in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires.
The clarinet player turned DJ comes from a family of musicians hailing from
South Wales (U.K.) but was raised in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Educated at the Langley School of Fine Arts and McGill University, Montreal, he
was inspired to play guitar, bass, keyboards, piano and drums before becoming a
top clarinet player performing with the Surrey Youth Orchestra, the Vancouver
Summer Pop Youth Orchestra and winning gold at the Kiwanis International Fraser
Valley Music Festival. Collaborating with his father, Richard arranged and
produced three very successful albums featuring many genres of music including
classical, jazz and pop and his vast knowledge and brilliant, natural creativity
has enabled him to pursue music production by merging classical jazz with
today's electronic revolution.
September 2007 proved to be a pivotal point in Richard's career as he began
hitting the studio to work on his own productions. At the 2008 Winter Music
Conference in Miami, Pete Tong, Dean Coleman and Lee Cult were already sampling
his rework of "Stuck in the Middle" by Steelers Wheels for thousands of house
fans. His first Remix release "Speed of Life" for one of Germany's top
producers Chris Montana, came out in November of 2008 on S2G Productions and
within the first week it jumped to number 21 on the electro house charts on
Beatport. This gave him the boost to pursue productions by remixing another hit
on Catch 33 Recording with the support of Chris himself. He is currently
scheduled to release a string of his compositions on S2G, Catch 33 and
Groovebox Recording revealing his unique and truly original sound.
