RichRel

RichRel is more than an artist—he is a chaplain, actor, creator, and good news communicator, dedicated to inspiring transformation through music, ministry, and movement. His songs embody bold love, deep vulnerability, and unshakable faith, inviting every soul—regardless of culture, background, or life stage—closer to the heart of God.

As an inspirational fringe Gospel artist, RichRel fuses R&B, pop, hip-hop, and singer-songwriter influences into a sound that is both rhythmically compelling and spiritually profound. With strong beats, acoustic intimacy, and raw authenticity, his music carries the message of L.M.O.: Love, Mission, and Oneness—a guiding philosophy that fuels both his artistry and ministry.

A Journey of Faith, Music, and Impact

Born in Chicago and raised in Bolingbrook, RichRel’s life has been shaped by both loss and triumph. The passing of his mother, Shirley Reliford, became a pivotal moment, inspiring him to release his debut album in 2014 as a tribute to her legacy. He lives life by a few profound truths.
God is love, and He is for all.
We Are Uniquely The Same.
We Are Many. We Are One.
