A Quick Q&A with Rick

 

When did you first start playing music?

About 14 years old I inherited an old nylon string acoustic no-name guitar from my mom. I started messing around with it off and on over the next few years but didn’t really come into my own or start really writing and learning until I was about 23. About that time is when I started to excel as a musician/singer-songwriter.

 

What brought you to Sound Pure?

My love for music and Photography, People, and Durham.

 

Have any pets? 

A 5-year-old pit mix named Cali. 

 

What’s on your “turntable” right now?

1000 Mods

 

What are your passions and hobbies outside of music? 

Photography and anything art related.

 

What’s a quirky or fun fact about you? 

I love making music. I hate performing for people.

 

What’s your least favorite thing to practice? 

 Scales. (I’m primarily a three-fingered rhythm guitar player.)
