Originally from Toronto, Canada and now living in the musical seaside community of Lion's Bay, BC, Martin Richmond's (known as MRDC) music comes from within and without, evolving on it's own, under it's owner's talented hand.

"On all 3 albums and all my work I play all the instruments. MRDC is more of an approach to creating music. It doesn’t matter what the instrument being played is. I would say I am most accomplished as a guitar player, but for me that does not mean I’m going to do an instrumental guitar album because I find those boring. I enjoy doing things that are abnormal and experimental in music, and this is also my approach to recording, mixing and mastering to get the MRDC sound. Try it, hear something, tweak it, make it work. My songs usually start with a sound or a riff over a groove. Then they morph as I start to hear how other parts would fit in. They all take on a direction of their own as they are created, I’ve never written anything I liked by setting out to write something specific. I doubt I ever will."
