Meet Richard Hartley | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Richard Hartley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Richard, what’s your definition for success?
My definition of success is being able to do what you love,with whom you love or like whether for a living or simply for the joy of it!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We perform and create world music with a gospel message What makes us unique is our presentation of it..which can range from reggae to rhythm and blues,jazzy stuff,traditional or whatever we want

It’s unexpected and done with showmanship that could include dancers actors models all in a musical showcase concert! Lol

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I live in NYC so this is an easy answer since there are so many things to do I’d take them on a geographic adventure

Rockaway Beach the best pizza and Asian food in the world
