To satisfy his early music urges, Ric joined the classical choir of his home Anglican Church when he was only eight years old. This really shaped his understanding of music notes, and how to blend these notes to create awesome sounds. At 17, he was introduced to the studio and became obsessed with recording all kinds of music from rap, to R&B, to Gospel Music. After Graduating from University with an Economics degree, He began working with artists from Frank Edwards to Skales, Praiz, Samklef, and got to meet and mix with several other artists from whom he really drew inspiration, and got truckloads of advice and mentoring. He released singles such as Dreams, Let Me Speak, Radio, Wetin you do, Hello, and Be my girl, but being unsigned at the time, he was only ‘promoted’ by word-of-mouth. The singles however, gave him a small, but strong following.
Ric Hassani [@richassani] is now signed to the 303 empire. He is currently promoting his just recently released single; ‘Dance Dance Baby Dance’. His influences include Brandy, Chris Brown, Ed Sheeran, Angel, P-Square, Wizkid, Jay-Z, Bruno Marz, Drake, & Lawson.
