ABOUT RICHARD GOLDSWORTHY

"Hello Richard, I bought your CD Hidden Dancers at Eumundi Markets a few months back. I am sitting listening to it as I write a story. It is truly beautiful and inspiring. I have played it whilst writing, cleaning house, exercising, driving and dancing in my loungeroom when no one is looking. It has at different times brought wonder and joy, tears and longing, inspiration and playfulness. I moves me and moves through me...thankyou once again for your beautiful gift of music." - Rachel Welsh

Richard was born in Cairns, in the tropical north of Australia and spent his early childhood in the tiny rainforest village of Kuranda. Much of his soothing music is inspired by the unique beauty of Australia's natural landscape.

After studying classical piano through his childhood, Richard began composing as a teenager, releasing his first album, Firelight Moon in 1992. Returning to live in his native tropical North Queensland inspired 2 more albums, Magic Happens and Hidden Dancers.

During 2004-2005 Richard spent several months traveling and performing in Japan, where he composed soothing music for his album "Silk", before returning to Australia to compose and produce his latest work, "The Quietening".

Richard now lives at Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
