Filthy Rich

Real Name:
Rich Criso
Profile:
* For UK producer/remixer Richard Wakley please use Filthy Rich (6)

Filthy Rich bought his first set of turntables 20 years ago and started spinnin' as a basement DJ at the early age of 14. Driven by his need to express music and song ideas, he invested money in studio gear at 18 and began developing house tracks.

A few years later after hooking up with George Calle and Joseph Ventola of i! Records, the Filthy Rich released his first track "Get It Together" on i! Record's 1994 debut vinyl release entitled First Avenue EP.

Since then he has production/remix credits on nearly 100 records for labels such as i! Records, Hip Bone Records, Unda Vybe Records, and Kult Records, and has worked with a variety of artists including long-time mate Todd Edwards (Stormy Day), Damon Trueitt/Somore (I Refuse - What Ya Want), Karl 'tuff enuff' Brown (Fifth Gear), and many of Hip Bone Records' artists and musicians.
