Rico (Scottish singer)

Rico Capuano, better known simply as Rico is a musician from Glasgow, Scotland.

Biography

Rico Capuano was the singer with the band Perfect World in the mid-1990s. Record company interest did not translate into a record deal, and he later went solo, recordings as simply Rico.

His debut album Sanctuary Medicines was released by EMI/Chrysalis in 1999, and was described by the Glasgow Evening Times as "as black as it was intense". He supported Gary Numan on his UK tour in 2003, and had a hit with Numan in 2003 with "Crazier", which reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. Second album Violent Silences was released in 2004, and featured collaborations with Numan and Tricky.

All science silent on the Rico front in recent years, with an update on Rico's website (page no longer there) stating that he would not be producing another album, and was instead working on producing for other artists, through his label Manufractured and his recording studio The Dog House. He recently produced the last project of the band LUNG; a French and British duo with singer guitarist Chris Loung and drummer programmer Ric Chandler. their album, LUNG, has been released in February 2013 on the American label octopus wreckords. The last update on Rico's MySpace page was in the New Year of 2006, and the artist's home site is just a page linking to his (apparently abandoned) MySpace page.
