Artist description "I am Ricardo. I write songs, usually with an acoustic or electric guitar. I take the feeling I put into the guitar and attach the words and melodies that come to mind. Then, I go record it in my home studio, adding in the accompaniment I need to tell the whole story. I sing, and I play the drums, guitar, and keyboard, and sometimes include strings, bells and chimes, loops and beats, and trumpet. Be ready for powerful, thoughtful rock. I sing of the need for social revolution, the need for love and equality and FREEDOM!"

Music Style Epic Rock Ballads of Revolution and a Better Day. Acoustic guitar begins; next thoughts are added in words. Then I put it together in a way that fully expresses the song using electric guitars, effects, drums, keyboards - whatever I need to create the song I want.
