I've always been a fan collaborating with artists from different genres. I've had the opportunity to work with many different artist with great talents. I've seen a growing number of people wanting to join heads and work on projects, so that's when I decided to rename my group, RNG - Rich Nakatsu Group. The group itself is not static like some groups, where they have the same members. However, I do have my core members that help me on my projects, people who know how I want things to sound when I record.
The nice thing is that, I am not stuck in one particular genre. I believe that exposure to many different types of genres is what makes a musician a musician. It also brings more meaningful appreciation for how music move others.Band/artist history
Started out as a project with a friend in 1993 writing Christian folk songs. As he moved onto his folk music, I began experimenting with different styles of music. I slowly got myself out of the acoustical phase, and went more technical, by incorporating synthesizers, and using various sound modules. Realizing that my strength is in the Rock genre, I decided to expand out and work on my guitar skills. However, I am constantly changing my ideas about how I can improve my song writing.Have you performed in front of an audience?I've played concerts and by requests before. Now, it's mostly for church events. I really enjoy it. Special moments? Other than breaking strings on stage? Let's see....I played in a concert of 800 people, and had a bloody nose. Most embarrassing moment I can think of.
Your musical influences
I think the best way to see is, what's in my mp3 player? :D Let's see... Tak Matsumoto, Lots of Joe Satriani, Pink Floyd, David Gilmore, Judas Priest, as you can tell... different ends of the spectrum.What equipment do you use?
1) Yamaha MT-4 Multitrack Mixer
2) Cakewalk Sonar 6 Producer Sequencer Software
3) Hammerhead Rhythm Sequencer
4) SF Acid Pro
5) Behringer Compressor/Limiterragland's station

"My Little Star" is a great song!As a
musician, (after reading the attachment below that my dad sent me), I
realized there was something that I could do as well in the war against
Christmas. I wrote a song called 'Gabriel' you can listen to it for free
here:

If you believe as I do, that this song will affect people in a
possitive way about true meaning of Christmas then please click this link:
http://www.kelowna.thesun.net/requests/create It is sun fm, a local
secular radio station that has a copy but is hesitant to play it because
they don't think anyone wants to hear Christian oriented Christmas
music! Finally, please read the attached article and pass it along, the
enemy has succeeded in kicking Christ out of our public
schools, lets not stand still and do nothing while Christ is being
kicked out of Christmas!!! Thankyou, God bless you and, oh yeah... Merry
Christmas!!!
