JD RICH BAND

Sophisticated dance-pop with a funky edge.

Created by Canadian songwriter/producer JD Rich (Jared Richardson), The JD Rich Band performs high-energy original music and uniquely crafted covers of popular songs.

Combining instrumental and vocal excellence, The JD Rich Band gives a spotlight to every member of the group – with soaring melodies, slap bass grooves, dynamite horn lines, and sizzling synth solos. Influences range from the classics like ABBA and Earth, Wind & Fire; to electronic artists like Zedd and Avicii, to the genre-bending fusion of Dirty Loops.

Currently based in Vancouver, JD Rich is a composer/songwriter, producer, and keyboardist from Victoria, BC. He is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, where he majored in Electronic Production & Design. His orchestral works have been performed/recorded by the Victoria Symphony, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Across many musical worlds, JD Rich believes in crafting memorable melodies and tight arrangements with a distinct flavour of sophistication.
