*Ricky Johnson** Born in Marion, Indiana, I grew up surrounded by musically talented individuals and currently reside in Houston, Texas. I have a passion for programming, reprogramming, and deprogramming beats, and I enjoy listening to a wide range of artists across various genres. My first experience with professional recording was in 1992 when I was introduced to James Baker of the group *The New Birth*, who gained popularity in the early to mid-1970s. Sammy Jones facilitated this introduction in North Hollywood, California. We collaborated on several projects, which inspired me to build my own home studio and pursue my dreams in music production. I hold a certification in musical engineering and am an avid reader, always seeking new ways to innovate, reinvent, and expand my creative skills. I approach my craft with dignity, honesty, and respect, reflecting my strong spiritual beliefs in both my recordings and my interactions with clients. I am dedicated to delivering quality work and maintaining integrity in everything I do. Additionally, I had the opportunity to record with Lord G in Los Angeles, an artist who performed on the *Above The Rim* soundtrack.
