Born and raised in
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Richard Augustin held his first guitar when his
older brother Philippe Augustin placed it in his hands as a young boy.
He was only eleven years old when the bond between him and his music
started. After years of self-taught music theory and choir
participation in the Catholic Church, this yet unpolished musician knew,
upon writing his first composition, that his life was destined to evolve
around music. Therefore he took music writing and reading classes,
lessons in classical guitar, Bossa Nova, Jazz understanding. Richard’s
live appearances include several prestigious performances in the U.S.A.
and abroad, including the Midsummer Night Swing Festival hosted by the
Lincoln Center, the famous Upper West side Jazz club Smoke, the Lion’s
Den in the Greenwich Village, the OAS building in Washington, D.C., and the Haitian
National Palace prior to the earthquake.
