Riky Rick

Data updated on 2025-05-04 17:17:29 UTC

Born in 1987, Riky Rick’s music style has been influenced by early Kwaito and Hip Hop. Borrowing from these influences he has managed to carve a lane for himself as one of South Africa’s most electrifying performers and rap artists the continent has ever seen. His raw and eclectic style has found the perfect synergy between South African township life and International appeal. Beyond music, Riky is one of the most loved and respected personal brands, lending his face and creativity to major campaigns for Ben Sherman, Puma, Russian Bear Vodka, Gucci and Woolworths. He recently won Most Stylish Male in performing Art at the prestigious South African Style Awards held in November 2016.

His album "Family Values" was certified platinum by RISA and was in the Top 20 African Albums of 2015. He has won numerous awards for his music, most notably the MTV AFRICA AWARD FOR BEST MUSIC VIDEO, a Loerie Award for his short film EXODUS and 2 awards at the SA HIP AWARDS.
