I first met Ritchie while tutoring  in Whangarei, NZ. Quite often I would hear him singing almost everyday all over the campus.
While teaching during the day, and club/dj'ing  at night then, our affiliation came about through music.
He entered a talent competition sponsored by Mai -FM (NZ Radio Station), and came to me that morning in my classroom, to ask if I could record a quick demo to give to them. Talk about a rush job.

Long story short, we laid down some tracks in the classroom with my students present, mixed it down, burnt it off, then he went to the competition and won! He got a recording contract with MAI FM, and got to make a video! Shot out to you  Ritchie,Dutch and whanau!
 Last time we talked you were heading down Hamilton. Good Luck bro, Hope to catch up soon!
Give a shotout to Katchafire from Me Muzz and Lloydy (Filmcrew@Ngapuhi Festival 2010) if you catch up with them.
