Richie Campbell (* 1987 as Ricardo Costa ) is the stage name of a Portuguese reggae musician.
His stage name is made up of a form of his real first name Ricardo, and the last name Campbell, which he borrowed from two musicians he admired, Turbulence (Sheldon Campbell) and Admiral T (Chrissy Campbell) .
His music moves between reggae , dancehall , soul and lovers rock , whereby his clear, powerful and young voice is an essential characteristic. He has been active in the reggae scene since 2004 when he became part of the dancehall band Stepacide . After becoming a toaster for the No Joke sound system , he sang dubplates for various DJs . At the same time he became increasingly active as a solo singer.
He has since worked as a solo singer with various other reggae musicians, including Ky-Mani Marley and Alborosie . In 2011 he accompanied Anthony B on his European tour.
He shot the video for his song That's how we roll , newly released in 2012 , for the first time in Jamaica , partly with musicians, partly with passers-by in everyday life. In the same year his album Focused , u. a. with Turbulence, Anthony B. and Ikaya as guest musicians, and now increasingly with socially critical texts, especially in view of the financial crisis and the consequences of the tough austerity policy for the people in Portugal.
