About Me

‘Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself!’

My parents met in a choir, fell in love and became wedding singers amongst many other things. They raised six crazy kids in a colourful musical ramshackle palace, so it seems fitting that I've been singing and acting since I came out of the womb. I've done theatre, films and musicals, voice over, film soundtracks and gigs galore. I have performed three times at the Sydney Opera House, as well as the Seymour Centre, the Queen Victoria Building, Surry Hills Festival and more.

'Trains' is a low quality recording of one of my original songs, the other songs here are from a band collaboration. I'm in the midst of setting up some home recording equipment so that the hundreds of songs I've written can come to life. These will be folky/ bluesy/ soul type tunes. Stay tuned hepcats!

'To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong' - Joseph Chilton Pearce

'The time to sing is when your emotional level is too high to just speak anymore, and the time to dance is when your emotions are just too strong to only sing about how you feel.' - Bob Fosse PS Have a look at a mockumentary I did here http://www.richardvilensky.com/Be_A_Hero.html
