Richard Viard
Guitar / Acid Jazz / Fusion / World Beat
Boston, MA
Nextcat co-founder, Eternal Dreamer

My first dream was to design cars...
I used to draw cars all the time.
Then I wanted to be a chemist/biologist
I used to collect rocks, insects,
and blow up my parent's house.
Then I wanted to be a rock star.
Actually, I thought I was one.
Most of my high school time was spent
either playing music or drawing in my sketchbook

My new dream is to build the coolest site for musicians, 
actors and everyone in the entertainment industry 
to network and further their career.
This is the coolest job ever!

CommentHi Richard,
You have obviously led a very creative life so far!
Nice to listen to well constructed and hooky sounding songs.
You seem to have the balance right between being melodic and 'out there'.
One day I'll get soaking this stuff up properly instead of lyric and songwriting.
By the way, I'm gonna nick the first line of your profile to write a song: "I used to dream of designing cars" has got to be a winner! lol
All the best,
Jules
