He followed a traditional route in music, completing ABSRM and Guildhall music exams leading on to completing a Degree in Music at Kingston University, London England. Receiving a classical schooling in both composition and sound engineering, no sooner was his education complete Richard began working as a professional sound designer and composer for highly respected video game developer Criterion Studios in Guildford UK, where he remained for a number of years cutting his teeth on his first Dreamcast and PC projects.
Richard firmly established himself as a solid sound designer and composer working across numerous areas of the industry including Film, Production Music, TV and Video Games during which time he’s had the pleasure of working on projects for huge industry names such as BMG / Universal, Namco, Sega and the BBC.
