RICHKID RICH - (Chicago, IL) - prog house, trance, electro house
Jim Morrison, The Rockstar and Musician, would go visit with the shamans in the Desert and he would come back a newly inspired composer, changed for Eternity!!! His gifts to music are still played on air stations & bars all over the World. His life ended at the age of 27, due to an over-dose from drugs and alcohol from the inability to maintain the pressures of Fame in A Rock N Roll society. The Universe works in mysterious ways, drawing the right people, to the right places, at the right times in their life. Richkid Rich didn't intend to go on his first journey with a shaman, it just happened naturally. A shaman named Beobe took Dj Richkid Rich and 3 friends on a journey. Words can't explain all truth, all knowledge & all wisdom of the mysteries & wonders of the world. Sometimes… Experience is the ultimate teacher. Richkid Rich says in his own words, the lesson from the journey that night with The Shaman Beobe is this, "ENOUGH!!! Do not be afraid, The Universe is with you; the dancefloor is your birthright! Lift the people on the magic carpet ride of life and flash to the finish line; collect $10,000 every time pass go!!! " Richkid Rich knew at that moment, we all have an inner rockstar, its those who make the sacrifices, work the hardest, and focus the most who will win and life the life of their inner rock star. Richkid Rich bought turntables in 2001, and recorded on cassette tapes for 3 straight years critiquing them in his car. His first residency was with DJ Vox in 2004 at Sean Kaley's in Lemont. He had residencies in Wrigleyville 2005-2009 playing Postgame of every Home Cubs game in Wrigleville. Richkid Rich won his first Dj Battle at Bourbon Street in Marrionette Park on the Southside of Chicago in 2005! Richkid Rich's musical style, like everything you do in life, has evolved and changed with the times. Today Richkid plays house, techno, electro, indie dance, trance, minimal, tech-house. "The Dj's job is to unify the dancers, the people, and merge it thru your track selection, the effects, the uncommon tricks you can do, the energy of the club, the passion that comes through your heart, and as Black people call it, your SWAGGER!!!!!!
