Born of Haitian parents in Queens, New York, Richard Rouzeau was taken to Haiti at the age of three. Not long after, he began playing with a piano on his own and succeeded in mastering it enough to be used as a music writing tool that would later bring about several hits. These songs brought him great success and the recognition of some of the most revered musicians in the industry.
Since the late 80's and early 90's, Richard helped his band "Papash" make their legendary mark on the market with songs like "Mwen Te Pati", "Yon Ti Foli" and "Aprann Renmen". After a few years back to New York, he teamed up with Alan Cavé to produce "Se Pa Pou Dat", the hit song on this artist's album of the same title that became a classic in the French West Indies such as Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, etc..., and also in Africa.
After many contributions to the Caribbean music scene, Richard is now committed to releasing his first solo album "Tanpere'ou" in 2008.
