Background
Of Greek heritage, Richard grew up in a musical family where music was always part of daily life. At the age of 7 he began learning piano as his first instrument, followed by clarinet, guitar, and more recently, the cello. This broad and hands-on relationship with music sparked a curiosity for sound, harmony, and storytelling.
Richard went on to study music at Durham University and later, a Masters at The University of Bristol, specialising in composition for film and television. A multi-instrumentalist at heart, he is drawn to creating distinctive sonic worlds that blend organic sources with modern production to create music that tells stories with depth and authenticity.
