Rick authored the critically acclaimed international bestseller, The Creative Act: A
Way of Being, a book connecting readers with the wellsprings of their own
creativity. His Tetragrammaton.com was just recognized for best website design
by Fast Company, and the weekly conversations on his Tetragrammaton podcast
are addictive.
Rick produced artists like Adele, the Beastie Boys, the Cult, Flipper, Gossip, Jay-Z, Johnny Cash, Linkin Park, Metallica, Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Run-DMC, Slayer, Tom Petty, and many others. He was named one of 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time. Rolling Stone called him the most successful music producer in any genre.
Balenciaga Music selects artists to create original playlists based on their own tastes, giving audiences a window into their processes and backgrounds. They are chosen by Demna, who started off the series with his own mix, followed by collaborations with RuPaul, Aya Nakamura, Acid Arab, Pink Martini, Jay-Jay Johanson, Archive, Angelo Badalamenti, and BFRND.
