RICHARD DARELL - ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
RICHARD DARELL WAS RAISED IN STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN AND DURING HIS YOUNGER YEARS HE CAME IN CONTACT WITH A FLOOD OF MUSIC RANGING FROM JAZZ AND ROCK TO R&B AND SOUL WHICH CAME TO INSPIRE HIM TO START SINGING HIMSELF. AT THE AGE OF 12 HE WROTE HIS FIRST SONG WHICH LATER CAME TO BE RECORDED BY HONG KONG SUPERSTAR ALAN TAM.
AT THE AGE OF 16 SONY MUSIC DECIDED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT RICHARD WHICH LATER LEAD TO THEM SIGNING HIM TO THE EPIC LABEL. RICHARD STARTED WRITING WITH A MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT WRITERS AND PRODUCERS TO FIND THE SOUND BEST SUITED FOR HIM. HE SOON UNDERSTOOD THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR HIM TO ADD HIS OWN FLAVOR TO THE MIX WAS TO DO IT HIMSELF. HE DECIDED TO WRITE SOME SONGS AND CONCENTRATE ON THAT BUT OTHER ARTISTS EAGERLY WANTED HIM TO WRITE FOR THEM MAKING TIME SHORT OF SUPPLY. YEARS WENT BY AND THE URGE TO CREATE SOMETHING UNIQUE, UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE AND ALL HIS OWN JUST KEPT GROWING.
DURING THIS TIME RICHARD WROTE AND PRODUCED SONGS FOR ARTISTS LIKE LUTRICIA MCNEAL, JOHNNY LOGAN, POPSTARS SWEDEN AND GERMANY, AMERICAN IDOL, SWEDISH IDOL, TRIPPLE PLATINUM SELLING ARTIST DINA AND LOADS OF OTHER ARTISTS MOUNTING UP COMBINED SALES OF MILLIONS. HIS CREATIVE STAMINA AND EFFORTLESS OBSESSION WITH WORDS MAKES HIS SONGS AND PRODUCTIONS BREATHTAKINGLY CAPTIVATING IN EVERY SENCE.
WITH OVER 16 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS RICHARD DARELL IS SORT OF A "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, GOTTA GET IT PERFECT"-KIND OF PERSON, BUT IT IS WHEN YOU LISTEN TO HIS SONGS THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE HARD WORK IT HAS TAKEN HIM TO GET TO WHERE HE IS TODAY. ALREADY HAVING HAD SEVERAL NR. 1'S AND COUNTLESS MORE CHARTERS HE NOW FEELS TIME HAS COME FOR HIM TO PUT HIS OWN FLAVOR UPON THE CHARTS.
