Born and raised in South East, Washington, District of Columbia Richard began playing at the age of 9. Richard grew up listening to the likes of some of the most famous flautists such as: Bobbi Humprhey, Hubert Laws, and Herbie Mann. Richard's currently deployed along with a few other members of the group, but still doing God's work. He's entertaining Soldiers worldwide, touching them with the anointing sound and bringing souls closer to our Father in Heaven.
The group T.A.O. originated in Killeen, Texas and this is there first recording of many projects to come. The group's looking forward to performing throughout Texas, North Carolina, and anyplace God's anointing will take them.

 RadioIndy is pleased to present T.A.O. (The Anointed Ones) with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Journey to the Top Begins "
T.A.O. (The Anointed Ones) charms the musical world with the delightfully smooth Jazz/Gospel album “Journey to the Top Begins.” Using the flute as the main instrument, Richard D. Hegens, Jr. skillfully compiles a collection of easy listening pieces with polished maturity and grace. His talent shines on songs such as “Keeping It Real” or “Ballad,” as he gives the audience a performance that captures the emotional spirit his music reveals. His refined flute talents stir up keen interest as he leads off the album with a not-so-traditional rendition of “Amazing Grace” which conjures a slightly livelier tempo and strong and solid beat. Although most of this album is instrumental, “Safe in His Arms” and “When I Think About the Lord” present beautiful female vocals as sweet and harmonious as the lyrics they sing. Jazz flavor at its best, “Otulp” highlights striking piano, soft brushes, and the melodious sounds of the flute. Sounds of stunning flute blended with engaging smooth Jazz/Gospel will lift your spirits and soothe your soul when you hear the wonderful songs of T.A.O.’s “Journey to the Top Begins.” -Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
