Richard Bozic started off as a heavy metal musician in Cleveland, gradually expanding his scope from the local band scene to the classical music scene in the Tri-State area. "I remember the day I picked up an electric guitar at my buddy's house growing up, I was instantly absorbed! I grew up listening to a lot of different music at home and with friends, and now I held in my hands a way to create my own!"

Soon after this discovery, he formed a band with friends; songwriting took hold, along with a voracious desire to constantly improve. He took a chance at the mic when a lead-singer opportunity opened up. "The guitar was a gateway to singing for me, all of the tonal possibilities inspired so much creativity. But, being able to use your own voice to directly communicate your creation is unparalleled."

​This led to serious voice study, opening the door to solo and ensemble-based performances while participating in various bands. "I remember the deep satisfaction of being immersed in music while studying at conservatory in college. It was a metal on Friday and Mozart on Monday kind of situation. A singer has to sing the music they love! As a singing teacher, I always felt great success would come if you allow the student to gravitate towards what they loved to sing while cultivating a sense of curiosity and exploration. I have learned that there is beauty to be found in many different styles and genres, but you must be open to it."

​His teaching style can be described as having a contemporary approach grounded in classical fundamentals, combining technique and artistry tailored to the needs of the modern singer. Guiding the singer to maintain a healthy and flexible technique with a strong emotional/dramatic connection to the music, is paramount in serving the art in each song or role.
