Richie, born and raised in Tuskegee, Alabama, has come full circle with his innovative and personal project TUSKEGEE. He has surpassed his creative and personal boundaries by performing 13 of his most beloved "anthems of our day" with some of the biggest names in country music, including Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, Billy Currington, Little Big Town, and Jason Aldean.
"I am a country boy and proud of it. To do this project just felt natural," says Richie. "Tuskegee was the perfect melting pot for my influences as a writer, growing up with country, R&B, gospel, and classical music from my grandmother and pop music."
Richie taps on the keys of the piano in his state-of-the-art recording studio and reflects, "As my songwriting progressed, I realized that my songs perfectly translated to the country genre." He adds, "What began as a collaboration of talented people ended up being a great group of friends getting together to make great music."
TUSKEGEE is not just a place; it is a state of mind for Richie. "It is a place of possibility, hope, promise, self-empowerment, and where dreams come true," he explains. "The title, Tuskegee, is a validation of my growing up there -- the place I call home."
By blending his diverse musical influences and collaborating with country music stars, Richie has created a project that is innovative and deeply personal. TUSKEGEE represents the culmination of his experiences and passions, and it showcases his ability to transcend boundaries and connect with a wide audience through the power of music.
