MARSHALL, NORTH CAROLINARicky’s story starts in Marshall, North Carolina, with a mother who taught him harmony and a father who helped shape his country sound.
He began singing professionally in 2011. A decade later, he won the Josie Music Awards all-ages vocal competition.
From the studio to a mountain festival stage, the songs carry that same place with them.
