Interview with Todd Richard

Born in Hamilton, Ontario and raised in B.C., Todd Richard gained exposure on the Country music scene in 2008 when he took part in CMT Canada's Karaoke Star. He made it to the finals which led to an opportunity to perform at the CCMA Kick Off party in B.C. It was there he met popular Canadian Country artist Rick Tippe. They began writing together and 7 of their songs appear on Todd's just-released debut CD Journey On. The album was produced in Nashville by Bart McKay and features many of Nashville's top session players. The title-track and first single is a tribute to cancer survivors. At age 10, Todd had his first opportunity to see his dad perform on stage and judging by the audience's response, he was sure his dad was a star. From that moment on, Todd knew he would walk a path in life that would have him singing, writing and entertaining music fans.
