Richard Kapp, born 1976, is a singer/songwriter living in the city of Vienna, Austria. From an early age he has
been involved in the creation of music, first came the piano, then came the drums. A prolific musician in his native city he
has been involved in many different musical projects as a keyboardist, drummer and composer.
All the while he has been honing and refining his songwriting skills. Richard Kapp uses his anarchic pop sensibilities
to craft unusual and quirky indie pop tunes. Another brand are his clever, witty and sardonic lyrics with a wink. But it
is his undying love of melody and surprising harmonies that makes the aural senses tingle. He constantly attracts other
musicians because of his tight arrangements and ear for a damn fine song. A songwriter gathering momentum he has worked
with highly respected indie-musicians like Back Bone Shiver,
Peter Kearns,
Gis Johannsson and
Woodstock Taylor for his first full album A Tie For Free.
Richard's songs have been featured on several compilations like "Planet Of Sound Vol. I", the benefit CD "Hope Never Dies",
"Band:Union IV" and "Band:Union V". His music has been compared to Scott Walker, Rufus Wainwright, Burt Bacharach,
The Divine Comedy, Lou Reed, 10cc, ELO, Zappa, The Beatles and even Iggy Pop. All those different styles, influences,
his mixture of electronic and acoustic elements made him gaining a lot of recognition on the indie scene for his
unique connection to music.
Meanwhile, Richard has been played on several podcasts and radio stations including the scottish station Radio Six International where he got nominated for the Record Of The Year.
