Richard Jay was born in Porto, Portugal. From 1987 playing in Vitoria SC football club which gave up to start his story with music. Sports and music always were his passion. The choice was hard but in this game the music was the winner... 1993 was the year when he first time moved our legs and hearts on the dance floor. From that time on, Pedra do Couto in Santo Tristo (Portugal) became his second home. Last few years became resident as well in Central Club, Mare Alta, Europa Club, XL Bar, 7a Arte and Swing Club. In mean time (2000-2004) he owned a records shop in Braga, Portugal.
