Keyboard and songwriter and Arranger
The first American musician I met was Richard. He also studied classical music since he was a child. At that time, he organized the most modern band to perform dance music in the world for the first time. He also collaborated with many famous musicians, including Chinese Wei Lan collaborates with internationally renowned jazz masters. He is very low-key, but he is the hardest working musician I have ever met. Like my father, he is always selfless and loves his neighbors as himself. When many friends are in the most difficult time, he is the only one who really helps them in every possible way. , he is a musician/friend and musical elder who I respect very much.
