about

As a seasoned musician, Richard Gow developed his initial love for art in the sonic form at the youthful age of eight.

His most significant musical influences can be traced back several decades to The Beatles, The Crusaders, Earth, Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder, enjoying the sounds of early rock and roll, funk, jazz, soul and a fusion of other rhythmic elements. Though Richard looks toward the future, he is aware that it would not have been paved without the sounds of yesteryear. Without these artists, I do not think music would be the same today, he says. Circa 1987, Richard began formulating his personal influences on the music industry, creating his own sounds and collaborating with other respected artists. In the late nineties, he returned to his loves of both jazz and dance music and began to infiltrate the production realm under various monikers. In recent years, he has signed several original tracks and remixes to labels including EMI, Rise and Sony. In 2001, Gow began working under one of his most notable alias, The Rhythm Slaves. Soon after, his Timeslip EP was released on The
