Basquiat: What drew you towards the art of songwriting:
Richlyrics: Well I grew up in a very musically-oriented household, much like anyone else, you can think back to family members playing music on the weekends, and at gatherings so the art has always been in me. Also my grandmother Josephine was a poet and she always encouraged me to put the pen to paper. The one thing she said that stuck with me was to write from my heart.
Basquiat: At what point did you know it was your calling?
Richlyrics: Well I used to kick the songs to females, and close friends. They all were supportive so I knew I had a shot you know. Over time that shot grew into a real passion, to the point where I feel like today I have good music for the people. Songs that they need to hear! Ive been writing songs since about 14 years old, and I take my craft very serious and Im always looking for new challenges and ways to make my material more insightful and identifiable to the office.
Basquiat: What is your niche as a songwriter?
Richlyrics: Without a doubt its making people feel how I feel. When I write a song, I make sure it comes from my heart, into the heart of my listeners. My things is to be honest about who I am and what i do, and I remind others to do the same. I think thats the blueprint for great music.
