He's the songwriting force behind the radio hit 'A Sucker For Sorrow' which is resonating with global audiences and ascending the charts at breakneck speed. Who is Ricardo Duran and from where does his musical inspiration come? |
When Ricardo Duran sits down to put pen to paper, his thoughts move from his head to his heart. Choosing to tap the emotional energy behind an idea or song concept is just one of the things that sets this extraordinary songwriter apart from his peers. Even before the recent success of his radio single 'A Sucker For Sorrow' Ricardo was best known for his work on ‘Paramount Song,’ where he collaborated with others who worked on the melodies and production. Although Ricardo considers most of his songs to be in the R&B and pop categories, his unique approach to songwriting leads to a distinctly different feel. 'I don't see myself as being like any other artist,' he explains. 'I consider myself to be writing in a unique space.' The courage to be different of course meant that there was no easy road to success. He would have to struggle, experiment and develop his artistic style over many years. But much of that struggle is now behind him. Nowadays, artists looking for songs written with a big heart and a careful attention to detail should look no further than Ricardo Duran, who builds and maintains strong relationships with all of his collaborating partners.
