Richard never ceases to amaze as an incredible musician and collaborator. I've had the pleasure of working with Richard on several projects now, and he always goes above and beyond to understand each project's unique needs, then find a tone and playing style that makes the track shine. He's also greatly responsive and communicative throughout. Highly recommend working with Richard!
