Richard was born on October 7, 1973. For more than 15 years he has been seriously involved with music, when he started working as a promoter/DJ at an early age, organizing underground Hip-Hop and Hip-House parties in Utrecht, Netherlands. While experiencing the sounds of acid-house (1992), he found himself getting absorbed with the depth and soul of house music.
In 1994, he moved to Amsterdam because he felt the need to further explore his possibilities as a DJ. Richard got a job in a record store and worked as an import manager for several years, but it wasn’t until the beginning of 1997, when Dimitri approached him to spin at the Roxy for their famous “HiTech-Soulmovement” nights. The Roxy management was so impressed by Richard’s musical performance, that they asked him to host his own monthly Saturday Night (Real Audio), which really helped put him on the map of the Dutch scene.
Richard has been working with other DJs and artists, like John Consemulder (Soma) & Helger (Mid-Nite Sessions). This talented DJ not only plays, but also produces and imports music. He established a collective of DJs, Artists & New Talent called PLAYGROUND at the 020 in Amsterdam. In 2003, they kicked it off strong, and it has only continued to grow and succeed since then. Now going even further with his residency in Amsterdams top club “Club 11”
