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.
