Indie Artist, Businessman, and Socially Conscious Richard Kincaid Debut CD “Return”

Indie Artists, Businessman, and Socially Conscious Richard Kincaid Debut CD “Return”. Richard is an example of someone who worked extremely hard in corporate America and at some point reflected on his passion then took a leap of faith. Richard is the former CEO of the largest publicly traded office real estate company in the United States, when his company sold in February 2007. This reflection highlights that one’s success is also tied to dreams, passion, and desire. When these ingredients burn from within despite monetary & business success they still will somehow tap you on the shoulder until you begin to journey towards that path.

Richard has a beautiful voice that ranges from R&B, standards like “All in Love is Fair”, and a voice for theatre. Where and when did this begin, as the fifth child of a musically inclined family of six, Richard sang before he completed his first sentence. In Ellinwood, Kansas, a town of approximately 2,000 people, the young Richard inspired church parishioners with stirring solos during services, weddings and funerals. Later he charmed diners as a singing waiter. From elementary school through his Bachelor’s at Wichita State University and his MBA at University of Texas, Richard studied classical voice. Drawn to the narrative power and sweeping scores of musical theater, he starred in many summer theater productions. Influences include Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Elton John and the musical theater canon. Throughout his corporate career, Richard maintained a strong and joyous connection to music and he re-dedicated himself to singing in 2007.
