ABOUT

Based in Kent but happy to move to good location for music, eg London

Looking for all kinds of musicians and people in the industry who dig this!

So I'm Riki Buckingham Visionary, Soulful, Conscious singer/songwriter/musician.

I am looking to collaborate with like-minded, change making musicians, artists, film makers, and PR industry people to join forces.

Happy to create and work on new material as a band or throw in some well played covers.

The video below is a compilation of most of the songs I have created recently over the last 3 years, it gives a flavor of something fun, potent and meaningful!

Musically the work has elements of funk, soul, blues, rock and has influences from other countries mainly in flamenco, Bossanova and eastern styles with hints of jazz, progressive and psychedelic music.

The lyrics are often deep and profound echoing a spiritual message for our lives and the beautiful planet we live on, the need to come together to create positive change.

I feel we can build a band and get gigging in a way that really inspires audiences, gets them up dancing and having fun, yet opens them up at the same time.

Thanks a lot, happy to hear from you
Riki
