 Rhythm Slaves feat. Joseph
Born in the town of Hayes in the suburbs of London, Richard Gow a/k/a The Rhythm Slaves spent most of his childhood in England. His most significant musical influences can be traced back several decades to The Beatles, The Crusaders, Earth, Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder, enjoying the sounds of early rock and roll, funk, jazz, soul and a fusion of other rhythmic elements. Though Richard looks toward the future, he is aware that it would not have been paved without the sounds of yesteryear. “Without these artists, I do not think music would be the same today,” he says. In addition to being a solo project, The Rhythm Slaves is often times a collaboration between Richard as the producer alongside a group of live musicians and vocalists. Richard describes the outcome as, “Jazzy house with a floor feel to it.” With a unique, upbeat sound, it did not take long to peak interest from several international labels including Easy Street. Currently living in Cannes, France, Richard has worked recently with John Acquaviva, Lego, Phil Weeks, Jay-J and Kid Massive.
