Ricochet Lakewood
Why this name?
I choose my name becuase I have a diverse personality and the abilty to bounce back from anything.
Do you play live?
Not at the moment
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Depending who's pocket is looking at it the mp3 can be a great thing.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
The right deal presented in the right way, maybe maybe not.
Band History:
There are people who walk in a room and no one will notice and then there are people who walk - in and everyone has to find out who they are and what they’re about; this definitely defines Ricochet Lakewood AKA Ricki.
Born and raised in Far Rockaway, NY as Verleiz Robinson, Ricochet pulls most of her determination from knowing there is more outside of the box. Ricki is a graduate from Wood- Tobe Coburn, earning a degree in Fashion Design and is a soon to be graduate of Touro College with a B.A. in Education and Psychology. Ricki remains a honor student while working on her new album Open For Business. Always finding time to be a crafty manipulator of words.
Ricki has been writing since before 1993, being inspired by artist such as L.L.Cool, Wu-tang, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Nas, Nonchalant, Heather B, groups like Total, and that’s just to name a few. However, she did not start seriously writing till 1998, when she meet, both label mate and husband Foul Al; it was his pointing out to her, her true potential that made Ricki become serious about her. However, it’s been her decision to keep her talent under wraps, as a RENNY secret till now.
Foul Al and Ricki’s mother played a big part in the influence of her album. Since her mother’s diagnoses of breast cancer in 2004 Ricochet has turned to see life through the eye of a fighter; as her mother fought cancer relentlessly, she demanded Ricochet do the same with her many talents. Thus Ricochet is born and in her mother’s memory she has come for Business, not for play.
Each track on the Album has earned a spot from a place of truth. Times of joy, pain and laughter. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
