Musically, it's sheer queer folk-funk: Ani with the lyrical subtlety and vocal expressiveness of Dylan.

after living in williamsburg, brooklyn performing his orignal tunes at small dive bars and coffee shops in the city, richard cortez returned to his hometown to record his debut record entitled "craving something beautiful". shortly after recording this massive string driven collection of intimate songs with both music and lyrics by cortez, the little songwriter hit the road with his cellist greg bortnichak conquering small gay bars and underground music hang-outs along the east coast. richard is currently in the process of editing and recording 2 new records to be released this year. one of which is live. we appreciate your constant support in this independent musical endeavor and hope you enjoy richard's debut record "craving something beautiful."
