Currently based in Vancouver, JD Rich (Jared Richardson) 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 flagship original project, The JD Rich Band, incorporates influences of 70s/80s funk/pop classics, modern dance music, and the melodic sensibilities of movie & video game themes. Live shows range in scope from solo/duo performances to a high-energy band with vocalists and a horn section.
