Richard Chance

About Me

Richard is a songwriter with a passion for good, old fashioned melodic pop music. Harking back to the Beatles, McCartney, Billy Joel, Andrew Gold, The Eagles, ELO and maybe a few select others…He writes beautifully melodic piano-led hooks, setting them against eclectic backdrops reflecting the changing moods of a young man with a head full of explosive ideas and the desire to bash out hard-edged beats one minute and float angelically on string quartets the next.Feel free to download the tracks on this site.
