It's John "RICK" Zeigler's special talent to draw upon classic writing traditions and apply them in a fresh contemporary ways. Rick has the ability to lace PHAT tracks with words that flow smoothly with any melody. With words that are easy to follow, his lyrics enhances the imagination and take you to the story line of the song and snatch the listener arithmetically into the Hook.

   From the progressive pop/rock of the Glass House Band to the modern sounds of his current writing/productions, Rick has distinguished himself in a wide range of musical endeavors.  Having a musical family has its advantages. Throughout his musical career he has had the opportunity to experience the personal touch of artist such as:

Betty Wright          The Isley Brothers

The Gap Band          Mother's Finest

Stevie Nix            October Road

The Hue's Corporation
