Johnny Ritchie on SoundBetter

Genre-bending with a flavorfully unique songwriting style, Johnny is a multi-instrumentalist/vocalist who finds comfort exploring the outer fringes of obscurity in music.

I specialize in writing nonconventional chords progressions and melodies, using a wide array of rhythms, time signatures, textures, and sounds. I am proficient on piano, keyboards/synths, drums/percussion, and vocals. My strengths include songwriting, lyric writing, improvisation, strong grasp of music theory, proficiency in odd time signatures, and deep personally meaningful music philosophy. I can play a wide range of genres including classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues, funk, heavy/metal, alternative, psychedelia, and experimental. When I write or play any music I am extremely attentive to detail, taking the time to find where exactly each part can fit into the mix, taking careful consideration of what is it I am trying to express and which notes/voicings will bring this expression into full realization.
