Richard Pickett

Richard Pigkaso was born in the Castle Hill section of the Bronx & raised on old school Hip-Hop & R&B. Pigkaso is a visionary who synergized his love for yo-yos & music, to forge a new sound. In his youth he was described as an outcast & a loner. He was often ridiculed for being a little different & marching to the beat of his own drum. In high school, he took an interest in playing with a classic toy - the yo-yo. His love for yo-yos eventually took him to competitions across the U.S., & even qualified him for a few international meets. Today he continues to master this instrument, but after graduating from college, Pigkaso decided to endeavor into a new medium - MUSIC. Though there were many haters who didn't believe in him, he overcame these social stigmas to leave his mark on the world. If you attend one of Pigkaso's performances, you will bear witness to the future of new school Hip-Hop. In contrast to most rappers, which have the same generic rhymes or beats; Pigkaso dares to think outside of the box. His exceptional creativity brings a colorful approach to the world of music. If, by chance, you happen to hear that Pigkaso is performing at a venue near you - make it your business to see him. Trust, You won't be disappointed.
