*Bio and Press Release*

America's newest romantic pianist has arrived, and his music is deeply evocative of the rural Amelia Island setting of his early childhood. Richard Cobb began playing the piano at the age of 8 before ever taking a single piano lesson, beginning his music career with a keyboard given to him by his parents.

By the age of 11, he was composing his own music and writing the lyrics of his originals songs. Although he eventually took a year of formal piano lessons, Richard was spiritually drawn to the freer, more improvisational style of other forms of music like, New Orleans Jazz and the blues. He bought a chord manual and began a self-teaching process that was to be long and laborious but much more fulfilling. His keyboard dexterity became masterful, and his catalog of new songs grew as he also grew into becoming a man. Richard realized that his talent was a gift from god.

During high school, he forsook the piano and played the saxophone for four years. Then, he went off to college and didn't return to the ivory keyboard until fate intervened. A close friend announced that he was getting married, and Richard set to writing a special song just for the wedding. Then, the wedding was called off. What to do with the new love song written for his friend? Richard went to a recording studio to make a professional recording.

From that experience Richard has now released four collections of his music, "My Beginning" his first collection, "Just Imagine" his second, his Christmas CD "Bringing Christmas Home", and now his fourth collection "Changes". Richard has sold nearly three thousand copies independently through his performances in Bookstores and Churches. Richard has been featured on WTLV NBC 12 in Jacksonville, Florida and his music has been featured on NPR.

Richard feels very blessed at the success of his music and has now decided to focus on performing in Churches and Public forums. Richard recognizes that his talent is a gift and his desire is to perform and share his gift with others. Richard lives in Port Orange, Florida.
