Ricci Bamboo is a special brand of artist. He is a longevity-endeared artist that understands the power of music & hopes he can leave a positive legacy through it.
Equipped with a West Indian background, Toronto roots, and a Miami upbringing, this informs the producer’s cross-cultural style of production.
Even from his moniker, Bamboo is a thoughtful craftsman. Bamboo is a pervasive species of plant that takes time and effort to establish its root system, but once it does, it grows at record speed.
Growing up in a “rough” environment pushed him to be bold, confident, and unapologetically authentic. He gravitates towards originality and uniqueness, as he has seen practiced by his favorite artists. Bamboo recognizes that “Music has always been used as a form of entertainment and an influence. Regardless of what your message is, you’re influencing people. Their moods, their belief systems… you’re influencing something in their life.” His mission is to make music that he is proud to stand behind as it outlives him and reaches generations to come.
On his latest effort, the music producer taps kinetic music-producer David Meli to star on their poignant number, “Papa”.
“Papa” released on Father’s Day is an emotionally driven song that emphasizes the lost role & importance of fathers in the life of our children and youth today.
The soothing record delivers a much-needed powerful message of how fathers are a pertinent factor to the upbringing of the youth, especially in todays generation where children can easily find parental muses in social media, single-motherhood is a rapid pandemic, and other forces such as work can play gate-keeper between the relationship fathers have with their children.
There are different undertones and incentives the track offers, especially the fact that todays music does not play a particular enticing role in providing substance or direction to the youth, further intimating how important the presence of fathers is in their young ones lives when growing up.
Additionally, he confronts the emasculation of men today and feels his impactful music can empower more men to take their rightful place as brothers, fathers, and more in the societal and family structure.
Familiar with the facts, Bamboo teams up with Tomflix production to deliver a resounding music video that captures the songs’ message.
