Rivalio Vegas aka (Ricky Rack) was born in Suriname, a country in South America, on January 3, 1984. He is now a (dance) pop artist living in Arnhem (Holland). His interest in music started at the age of 11, after hearing R. Kelly’s smash hit ‘I believe I can fly’. As he grew older his love for music grew even more and at the age of 18 he started singing. Two years later he moved to the Netherlands to pursue his dream as a professional athlete in (Track & Field), but due to circumstances it didn’t take long for Ricky to change his plans and focus more on music. He joined a hip hop group called THE ‘Willemstarz’, where he not only sang, but also rapped.
He got a taste of life as a beginning artist for the first time, because the group recorded music and performed here and there. After two years he decided to leave ‘Willemstarz’ and do things his own way. He started writing his own songs, and thanks to websites such as http://www.soundclick.com he got in touch with several producers that helped him realize a couple of demo’s.
With a few of those demo’s he participated in Holland’s most popular radio station Radio 538 Demo Duel contest several times and in 2010 he made it to the finals (live shows) with his song ‘Give it to me’ feat. J.I.
Ricky is currently busy working, and he plans to take his music career to the next level, stay tuned!
