Rico has been playing the piano since the age of 14. Born into an immensely talented musical family, he has always enjoyed learning the techniques of the piano and learning to use his ear to aid in his musical development. As most church musicians do, he played for various ministries and traveled the country gaining experience and a deep love for his craft. He has served as Music director for stage plays, multiple ministries locally and regionally along the east coast, and has been a part of multiple recording projects. So far he has one album, “A Chosen Vessel” (2004) in which he produced, composed, and wrote the entire project. Graduating with a degree in Music Production, Rico gained more knowledge and experience in multiple genres and piano theory. This transition encouraged and continually fuels his desire to share the knowledge he has gained and to help other musicians become more than just gifted artists, but minstrels.
