May 9, 2026Skilled piano and songleading, and great to work with
Ricky did a great job! Good communication throughout the process. He provided excellent music during lunch, including some requests, and then helped expertly lead songs during a singalong. He even offered to bring copies of the lyrics, which was very helpful as I was coming from out of town. Very flexible and good to work with. Highly recommended.

Since then, he has sung and provided music for multiple groups including ensembles in church, Dallas Baptist University, his Alma Mater, Gospel Musician's Workshop of America, and other community groups. He has also performed in restaurants, bars, weddings, funerals, fundraisers, birthdays, and personal gatherings.
If there are two words that describe Ricky, they would be professional and flexible. He is able to adapt to multiple genres and is easy to work with. Ricky always puts the client first.
Secondly, he is also the affordable option. While most freelance musicians charge up to 200 or 300 dollars an hour as a hard rate, Ricky starts at a reduced rate and doesn't sacrifice the quality of the performance for it.
