Biography
Seamless mixing and unique, original sound are just two of the countless reasons Allen Richards will stand out amongst the best in the industry. Formerly known as DJ Kix, Allen Richards is no stranger to the club scene. Beginning his career in his hometown of New Orleans, Allen sprung on to the scene in 1993 at the tender age of 17. Learning early on the skill of crowd reading and audience pleasing, Allen became well know in the New Orleans Metro Area. Not just another kid with a record bag, but one that moved the crowd night after night.
Realizing the opportunity, Allen moved to Orlando in July of 1997 to eventually pursue a degree in Audio Engineering. While awaiting the chance to further his education, he dazzled crowds at some of Orlando’s most infamous clubs, such as Blue Room, Cyberzone, and the legendary Club at Firestone just to name a few. In February 2002, Allen graduated as one of the top in his class from FullSail, with an Associate of Science in Recording Arts. While some might think a formal education is the building block for success, it is very much over rated in Allen’s case. Allen is a self-taught, self-motivated explorer of all things music. He has sculpted his unique talent and is very versatile in his music abilities.
Now living in Ft Lauderdale, Allen has released a full length self titled CD on Beatport. While not considered "dance" music it is still definitely something worth checking out. Although no longer playing out at various clubs and events, Allen is always interested in any up coming shows/events. If you are following Allen and like what you hear, please do not hesitate to contact him for any upcoming event that you may planning.
