Anthony has been playing music since 2002. Because he didn't know how to play guitar at the time, he did only vocals. He's been in a few bands but nothing too major. He borrowed a guitar from a band member and started teaching himself how to play. He realized in 2005 that he would be better off playing solo and started working on a cd (Under Construction). He started recording it in 2006 and in the beginning of 2007 it was finally finished. Anthony Richards is an Indie / Acoustic solo artist. (for lack of a better genre term). His unique voice and his guitar techniques makes the perfect combination. He believes that he can change the cliche of acoustic music from the typical soft voice and “happy” music to more of an emotional heartache with an occasional happy ending.

Influences:
Jared Leto, Rob Thomas, Aaron Lewis, John Mayer, Corey Taylor, and Billie Joe Armstrong.
