NAME: Richard Hollis REPPIN: Houston, TX NOTABLE RELEASES: Brighter Days LABEL: True Light Recordings CURRENTLY WORKING ON: New music for a Christmas single and album to be released in Spring 2017. SURPRISED ABOUT BEING A PART OF RYZE: I believe this is a long time coming. I’ve been singing and doing music since a teenager. I always knew it would bring a reward because of the faith and belief that I have in God, hard work and the talent He gave me. I think the surprise is just watching God unfold it all, and taking it all in. I’m truly honored. INFLUENCED BY: John P. Kee, Jodeci, Dave Hollister, Mary J. Blige and Anthony Hamilton.

Most expect to get what they need from the church, but a personal relationship is so pertinent... God is so faithful, but you have to get to know HIM”. “NEVER ALLOW PEOPLE’S OPINIONS MAKE YOU LET GO OF GOD’S HAND”
