Born in Reading, Pennsylvania and now residing in Los Angeles, Richie Kotzen first began playing piano at the age of five. Later, at the age of seven and inspired by a Kiss poster, Richie took up playing guitar.
Within the age of seventeen, he had already travelled back and forth across the United States playing in excess of five hundred gigs, opening for acts such as the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Greg Allman and the Smithereens. It was during that year that Richie released his first self-titled record on Shrapnel Records which graced the cover of several publications including Guitar World magazine.
Richie's virtuoso playing caught the eye of Bret Michaels, lead singer of the multi-platinum act Poison. Richie was asked to join the band at the age of twenty. The album "Native Tongue" (1993) achieved platinum worldwide sales, and produced two top twenty singles which Richie wrote "Stand" and "Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice)".
Following a controversial split with Poison, Richie continued his solo career releasing albums in various musical genres, ranging from Rock to Soul and ultimately Fusion. Richie's cult status was also beginning to grow, especially in Japan where Richie released classic albums such as "Wave Of Emotion" and "What is".
1999 proved to be a crucial year as he joined the fusion band Vertu with the legendary Stanley Clarke (bass), Lenny White, Rachel Z (Keyboards) and Karen Briggs (Violin). A massive tour of Europe commenced on the back the album, providing many of Richie's fans a chance to see him play live for the first time since his Poison years.
Even with having to perform with Vertu, Richie found time to release two more solo albums in 1999, the first a true Blues album "Bi Polar Blues" and the second album "Break It All Down", a more up to date sounding collection with its feet still firmly seated in the Blues.
1999 also was the year that saw guitarist Paul Gilbert leave the band Mr. Big. With a massive following in Japan, Mr Big's remaining band members, Eric Martin, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey, were under great pressure to find a suitable replacement in time to start work on a new album. Having worked together on a previous album, Sheehan turned to Richie to fill the gap. The aptly titled "Get Over It" sold more than 175,000 copies in its first two weeks in Japan and was followed by a successful Asian wide tour. The follow up to this Mr. Big release was titled “Actual Size” which featured Richie’s song “Shine” which debuted at number 1 on Japanese radio charts!
Following the Mr. Big farewell Tour of Japan, Richie became again a solo artist and started his relationship in Europe with Frontiers Records who picked him up for a multi-album deal. He released “Change” in 2003, the successful follow-up “Get Up” and finally the brand new “Into The Black”.
The new record reveals another fascinating side of this multi-talented artist who reveals his love for the Blues tinged sound. Lookout for Richie playing live soon in a town near you !
