Awareness Shows is a landmark youth program developed and performed by Rich that promotes conscious connection and positive messaging to teenagers in schools.
It is the only program of its kind, using real stories of exposure to abuse, violence and addiction from Rich’s young life to inspire and release teens suffering in silence. The whole school approach and after show support have supported many tens of thousands of teenagers across Australia and America.
And so, it was his goal to continue to impact and elevate the lives of young people around the world with Awareness Shows.
During his first three-month trip to Brazil, Rich teamed up with Prado LastName to record and produce Uplift, the first track of his new solo album Dreamer, recorded and released in Brazil in 2019.
Working hand in hand with Prado, and without a stitch of Portuguese under his tongue, they used instinct to create the songs, drawing on the people and natural environment around them to create an album of immersion, described as having a depth of composition, warmth and golden glow seamlessly blended with spontaneous creativity, fun and commercial relevance.
Working technically and fluidly with the music and the environment, this album was transformed into a live multisensory show connecting sound, projection, video-mapping, hologram, scenography, theatrical performance and even aromas. These shows are the public extension of Awareness Shows.
Rich’s fusion of music, sensory experience and transformational stories continues to peak, elevated by working with some of the most incredible producers and musicians in Brazil.
At its core, Rich uses music to help people open up the space within themselves where the synergy of mind, body and spirit work together, to wake up from the amnesia so often brought on by the modern world.
