Rick Scherzo A. K. A Ricasso Black 

Music has been part of my life for over 25 years, shaping me as a DJ and producer. I began professionally at Burnley College, completing an NCFE Level 2 in DJing and Music Production, which set the foundation for developing my style and sound.

From 2008 to 2011, I presented on Preston FM, gaining experience in broadcasting and connecting with the local music community. In 2011, my track Back to the Goodlife was featured in Computer Music Magazine, a milestone that reinforced my commitment to production. My music has also received continued support from BBC Introducing Radio Lancashire.

Today, I produce with FL Studio 21, Scarlett 2i2, KRK Rokit 5 monitors, ATH-M50x headphones, an Akai MPK Mini Mk2, and Xfer Serum. Whether creating, remixing, or mixing live, I’m always pushing my sound forward.
