Born to a father who plays the saxophone and a mother who sings, Ricky developed a love for music from an early age.
In 2008, he decided to get involved and learn to play an instrument: the piano.
In 2011, he left his native island - Guadeloupe - for mainland France to start musicology studies. There, he chose to learn a second instrument: the bass.
Later on, in 2012, he left this course to study "Sound engineering and music production" and joined ESRA Paris. That's where he started to learn how to make beats.
In 2015, he graduated from ESRA Paris and left for the United States (New York City) where he became assistant in a well-known recording studio: Quad Recording Studios NYC. There, he assisted many sound engineers including two mainly: "Max The Engineer" (credits: Kendrick Lamar - A$AP ROCKY - DJ Khaled - Pharell Williams - LL Cool J - Andra Day - Travis Scott - Future & more) and Dakarai "D.G."

Cole - G Eazy & more) on sessions with artists like NE-YO, Birdman, ASAP Ferg, KRS- One, Faith Evans, Jadakiss, Uncle Murda, Maino, and producers like Reazy Renegade, Easy Mo Bee, London on Tha Track...
In July 2016, he returned to France and began to work on personal projects. Two years later, he started producing local artists such as the rapper "Almeida" (with whom he released his first single as a beatmaker: "Lingots d'or" and an EP "Epilogue"), "Neaj", "Rodzy" and many others...
"When I'm composing, I always try to tell something, I want people to be captivated by my melodies, I love when the song is getting bigger and bigger. Music is like a language that I've been learning since I was a child. I learned to speak this language and now I use it to write my own story."
