Richard Carter – Artist
Meet Richard Carter, a visionary artist from South Norwood, London.
His musical journey was shaped by diverse influences: hip-hop from his aunt and uncle, jazz from his mum, and the Beatles, Joy Division, and reggae from his dad. At age 2, Richard discovered a piano in the rain and has been playing ever since. His music seamlessly blends hip-hop, orchestral, pop, indie, and gospel, creating an enchanting and unforgettable sound.
With his production, he brought to life the biggest horror film of 2023 with his creation “Le Monde – From Talk to Me” topping charts globally. In his artistry, Richard explores mental health, love, and power struggles through poignant lyrics and captivating melodies. He has performed sold-out shows at O2 Islington and Brixton Jamm, delivering emotionally charged live performances.
With a goal to tour globally, Richard’s latest single, “BLUE,” offers a glimpse into the depth of his musical artistry. This visionary artist seeks to touch hearts and souls worldwide with his powerful and transformative compositions. Join Richard Carter on his musical odyssey and be captivated by the magic of his music.
