Like many successful DJs, Ricky comes from a varying contemporary musical background, filled with different genres – and ends up with funky, disco, electro, breaks, techno & house music and-grooves. This musical background is supported by guitar, piano and vocal studies taken throughout his childhood, as well as completing three years of jazz and contemporary music research.
