Ryan Richards From WKQI Channel 955 Bomb Squad

About Me


a.k.a. "Boom-Boom", due to his love of playing records at full "boom", is no amateur to the Detroit dj'ing scene. Born into a house of music and dancing, Ryan began his dj'ing career at the ripe old age of eleven, performing at his sixth grade graduation dance. From then on he was able to turn his passion of mixing into a profession. Known for his upbeat personality and ability to please any crowd, Ryan Richards has been sought out and booked by such clubs as Sevin, Blue, Venue, Posh, Time Square, Eden, Cafe Max, Club Xtreme, Clutch Cargos (live 955 broadcast), and Tonic Night Club (live 955 broadcast). Not only is he known for mixing hip hop, rock, mash up, and top 40, but his specialty and true passion lies in blending underground house, electro house, tech house, techno, minimal.. When it comes down to his career philosophy, Ryan quotes, "I do what I love, and I love that dj'ing is what I do!"
