About Me


Born in 1985 in Pforzheim, Germany, Ricardo Muñoz grew up in Eisingen and Stuttgart. Ricardo, being half spanish half dutch, discovered the music when he first started playing the piano at the age of ten. At the age of thirteen he moved to Holland together with his two elder brothers and his mother.
In Holland, Ricardo joined his first band and has played in several bands ever since. When his brother and lead singer, Daniel Muñoz, left Holland to return to Germany Ricardo’s first band broke up and Ricardo started singing (2004). After some months of practice, he became front man of the Indie/Pop/Rock band What About Joshua. Furthermore, in 2004 What About Joshua released their first demo CD with five tracks on it. In 2005 Ricardo started a solo project together with Menno Hoomans and Nanno Van Ijsseldijk. Inspired by musicians as John Mayer, Michael Bublé, Coldplay and The Rasmus, Ricardo is recording a demo CD which will include generally pop ballades. Moreover, Ricardo has started taking vocal classes to improve his singing technique.
All the song lyris are written by Ricardo himself and /or good friends. The music is also composed by Ricardo and often feat. Menno Hoomans. Furthermore, all the instruments have been recorded by Ricardo using a midi keyboard. The songs are recorded in two home studio's, at Menno Hoomans' crip or Ricardo 's loft. They started writing and recording songs in 2006. Menno Hoomans is responsible for most of the mixing.
Right now, Ricardo (age: 22) is studying vocal at the Pop Academy in Leeuwarden, Holland, and lives in Sneek with his brothers Raul & Daniel and their mother. In addition, Ricardo is part of a cover band in Groningen which is called Like This. In his spare time he's busy writing songs for his album and also producing them. Ricardo is looking for a producer or label.
