Richystixx + Musician in Thompsons Station, TN

ABOUT

I'm somewhat of a laid back guy since living in Cali. Originally from NY, but needed a change from the rat race. In LA now for about 8 years or so. I love music - all styles and love to hang and play. Played with several bands before, but currently not in one. Have my own lockout studio in West LA that fits a small band. Looking for like minded people to express themselves through music.

My desire is to worship God through music and help bring others into worshiping God as well. I've always played in the church music ministry. I played in both very large 3,500-member churches as well as smaller 100-member congregations. I also had the honor of playing in NYC at Radio City Music Hall with my church to open for Alvin Slaughter
