richardbenjamin

richardbenjamin was born, then came instruments. richardbenjamin has performed in 4 continents and seven countries. first taking piano at 8 years old, he quickly learned brass and woodwind instruments, earning several awards throughout school. trumpet at 12, drums at 13, guitar at 15. he joined a famous group called MOHEAD at age 16! he toured with them until he was 18 then went to college to study history and religion. he then realized the world is his playground. he plays at weird times and it matters not if people are listening to him or if he is alone. the vibe is sent out and combined with those already swirling above. he has no control and is at his best when he completely lets go. he is no longer searching or reflecting on what he has found.

richard's been busy writing new material with many different artists. he may never release most of it, but then again, it was never his to begin with. he invented no new notes. his rhythms combined too quickly to differentiate with the vibrations of the humans surrounding him.DISCOGRAPHY:1996:with Mohead (trumpet, euphonium, acoustic guitar, backing vocals) feat. recordings from 1994-19962000 RAW (feat.
