== Early Life == |
|||
Richy Nix was born in Windsor, ON on December 11th, 1985. The "City of Hell" as he refers to it, is just on the other side of the [[Detroit River]]. He learned to play piano at age five. Throughout his childhood he had many problems with family and the law. These factors are a direct influence for many of the songs he has written. In his high school days (1999), he met [[Kannibalistik]] (local [[Detroit]] rapper), who let him use his keyboard to learn how to play. He experimented with different beats and began writing lyrics. |
|||
== Beginning Of Career == |
|||
He started off performing Horrocore rap under the name ''2iLL'' which soon-after was changed to ''Repulse''. Eventually, the final name change was ''Richy Nix'' which he obtained while reading the book ''[[Killshot]]'' by [[Elmore Leonard]]. He released his first album entitled ''No Romance'' which was also written and produced by him. Also released three mixtapes with other local rappers in Windsor during the same time. |
|||
He soon became the #1 unsigned artist in Canada on the [[Myspace]] Music charts which led to him getting some attention on major radio station [[89X]] (88.7 FM Detroit/Windsor)<ref>89X --- http://www.89xradio.com</ref>. That gained the attention of [[Universal Music Group]]. He had just released his 2nd album called ''Love'' (Solo), which combined all the styles and skill gathered in both the hip hop and rock worlds. This was the origination of the smash hit, “In My Head<ref>Richy Nix Myspace Page --- http://www.myspace.com/richynix</ref>”. His songs had a great response, and he broke the People’s Choice record on 89X with 21 consecutive wins, defeating [[Avenged Sevenfold]] on December 8th, 2008. This gained the attention of management company G&G Entertainment, who managed to work out a deal to terminate a previous indie contract out in Texas, and got him signed to [[Universal Republic]] mid 2009. |
