From the tender age of seven, Richie Righteous knew he wanted to sing and by the age of 18 he was producing and writing his own songs through which he tells the world about Jesus Christ.

In an online interview with The Scene Richie Righteous, who has been living in the US for a number of years, spoke about how the difficult the walk along the straight and narrow path became harder when he moved to the United States and was exposed to a new culture.
