Richard Wold started his career in Milwaukee singing with a national touring group performing with Mike Douglas, Doc Severinsen, and Tennessee Ernie Ford among others. He also toured with Dolly Parton as a background vocalist.

His love of song writing and session work also started there, and led him to Chicago where he began a 20 year professional career as a jingle singer and voice-over artist.

In 1980 Richard had the good fortune of teaming up with Bobby Whiteside, an incredible writer and producer. Together they wrote 3 songs recorded by Barbra Streisand, including her hit “Coming In and Out Of Your Life”. They also wrote songs recorded by Johnny Mathis, Andy Gibb, Rex Smith, Ray Goodman and Brown, The Dells, and other artists.

Deciding to put all his eggs in one basket, he took the chance and moved to Nashville. In 1993 He co-wrote Celine Dion’s song “I Remember L.A.” with Tony Colton. This lead to a contract with Warner Chappell. During this time he had songs recorded by Anne Murray, Bonnie Tyler, Peabo Bryson, Jeffery Osbourne, Regina Bell and James Bonamy. Much of his inspiration came from the incredible people he got to write with including Paul Williams, Olivia Newton-John, Don Pfrimmer, Rory Bourke, Joie Scott, John David and so many more talented artists.

He moved on from Warner Chappell to Curb Magnatone. In 2001 He co-wrote the Canadian Independent Song of the Year “Something Undeniable” with Lisa Brokop and Cyril Rawson. It was a great staff of writers and artists at Curb, including his pal Jack Sundrud.
