Rick Habana is a producer, songwriter, engineer and composer. In this interview Rick tells Steve Hart about his passion for blending music genres to create his unique smooth jazz sound.
Born and raised in California, Rick has succeeded in creating a sound that has landed him numerous music placements with many of the top television stations – not just in the US but around the world.
Rick has also started breaking new barriers on a project called The Collective, where he works on mostly live music with international musicians and singers from all over the world.
