Ricardo Drue, is primed to make his presence felt as he crafts a rhythm all of his own and offers a glimpse into who he is, a young man, a dedicated father and also an innovative artist.
Ricardo has been laying the foundation for his musical career since the tender age of 5 years old and has come a long way with humble beginnings Born in the village of Fort Road on the island of Antigua, until moving to Cocoyea San Fernando, in Trinidad and Tobago. It was only after his next move, to the United States that he met the people who gave him the motivation he needed to enhance his vocal talents.
After making a dent in the music scene as one of the lead singer of the dance and vocal quartet “Crossovah,” Ricardo Drue has set in motion events to leave his stamp on the music industry. He has opened for artist such as Jeffrey Osbourne, Mario, Fat Joe, Sean Kinston, Llyod, Machel Montano, Allison Hinds, Destra Garcia, Patrice Roberts, Red Rat, TOK and so much more.
