Born and raised in East Oakland, California by his mother, aunts & grandmother, Richmond
attributes his love of hip hop music to his Bay Area roots and church influence. His music is a
unique fusion of hip hop, gospel and R&B to create a vibrant, unique and innovative sound. As a
creative, he focuses on bringing a message of love and joy that acknowledges the challenges of
life but ultimately points to a greater promise of hope. His last solo project Glory Cloud was
released in 2020 but he is preparing to release his 13th solo studio album entitled MockTales in
spring 2025. In between solo projects, he partnered up with young up and coming artist Swain to
form the group ParaCleats and released their debut album Pull Up in 2022. He and his group The
Love Quest Krew are getting for the release of this new solo project and are ready to take the
Vancouver music scene by storm.
In addition to his own artistry, he is also a leader and creative visionary who is passionate about
artist development and mentorship in faith-based spaces. He and his wife are the Lead and
Founding Pastors of Love Quest International Church, a vibrant and lively community of
creatives based in Surrey, BC. As part of this, he also is actively involved with developing the
worship team at LQIC - Love Quest International Worship - into a powerhouse of music and
creativity and contributed as a major songwriter for their debut live original recording Home
released in fall 2024.
At his core, Richmond is a powerhouse of a creative who cannot easily be defined - but remains
an impactful in every area that he touches. He currently resides in Vancouver, BC with his wife
Julia and their three children.
