艺人资料

理查德·马克斯(英文名:Richard Noel Marx),男,1963年9月16日出生于芝加哥,美国歌手。代表作有《Right Here waiting》、《This I Promise You》等。

个人经历

理查德·马克思出生于音乐之家,父亲是乐手,母亲是歌手。小时候,父亲教他弹钢琴,

但理查德不喜欢父亲教的那些曲子。一次父亲回家时,听到从地下室里传出吵闹的声音。他进入地下室,发现儿子正拼命地“砸”着钢琴,并声嘶力竭地唱着埃尔顿·约翰的歌曲。歌曲唱完,父亲严肃地说:“这是什么玩意儿?”理查德十分尴尬,没想到父亲说:“好的,你是对的,是我错了。”

随着年龄的增长,理查德实现音乐理想的愿望也就更加强烈,他决定要在音乐上干出一番事业来。上大学时,有一天他突然接到著名歌星昂内尔·里奇的电话。开始,他以为是同学在搞恶作剧,理查德不知道,是他的朋友把他的一盘样带寄给莱昂内尔·里奇。里奇在电话中对他说:“你是个很有天分的人,将来会成功的。我不能向你保证什么,但我建议你去洛杉矶试试。”1982年大学一毕业,理查德便孤身一人去了洛杉矶。

在洛杉矶,理查德终于有机会在里奇的个人专辑中担任伴唱。此后,他为许多著名歌星担任伴唱歌手。

在做伴唱歌手的同时,理查德还为《圣埃尔默之火》、《生龙活虎》等电影创作音乐。

理查德开始录制自己的样带,他把样带送给洛杉矶所有的唱片公司,但得到的是相同的答复:“你没戏!”理查德开始有些动摇了,毕竟已到洛杉矶6年多,不能总给别人做伴唱歌手,他有更高的理想,如果这个理想不能实现,怎么办?他开始考虑是否要回芝加哥。就在理查德对前途失去信心的时候,EMI/Manhattan唱片公司总裁布鲁斯·伦德沃尔听了理查德的样带,他感觉一个明日之星已经抓到了手中,于是他与理查德签约,向他允诺说,“你可以写任何你想写的东西”,并拨了一笔钱给他做专辑录音。理查德请来戴维·弗斯特担任这张专辑的制作人。结果,他的首张专辑《理查德·马克思》迅速走红,1987年成为畅销唱片,位居世界流行音乐排行榜前列。其中的单曲《熬夜》赢得了众多歌迷的喜爱,获得排行榜冠军,这首歌也标志着理查德情歌时代的开始。随后的几首歌《没意思》、《早该知道会更好》和《无尽夏夜情》也纷纷上榜。浪漫的情怀于是成了理查德的标志,由于他总是给人一种深情的、单相思式的、浪漫的形象,使他的歌迷与日俱增。评论界对他也有颇高的评价,著名的权威音乐杂志《滚石》的乐评人J.D.康西丁称他是“严肃、明确的音乐人”、“伟大的歌手”。

理查德的专辑《故伎重施》在1989年推出后,其中的两首单曲《满足》和《在此等候》先后成为排行榜的冠军。《满足》不仅受到歌迷的喜爱,而且在评论界也获得了极好的口碑,评论界认为,《满足》摆脱了他往常的公式化的浪漫———民谣模式,在演唱上表现出极大的活力。除此之外,专辑中还有3首歌曲进入排行榜的前列。可以说《故伎重施》使理查德获得了全面的成功,更确立了他在歌坛的地位。

1991年的专辑《繁忙街道》也有3首歌曲进入排行榜的前列,其中的单曲《危险》获得了评论界的肯定,著名娱乐杂志《娱乐周刊》撰稿人查克·埃迪称这首歌是“一首关于河边谋杀的、稀奇古怪的弗拉明戈摇滚民谣”,这首歌在一定程度上促销了该专辑。

1993年的第四张专辑《免费假期》又给理查德带来了3首进入排行榜前列的热门歌曲,单曲《现在和永远》延续着他的抒情歌曲路线。这首歌在1993年使理查德上了事业的新高峰。与此同时,理查德还不停地为其他歌手写情歌,比如他为乡村歌手肯尼·罗杰斯创作的那首著名的《疯狂》,后来成了肯尼最引以为骄傲的代表作。

理查德的第五张专辑出版的时候,已是1997年。在新专辑《骨与肉》中,我们听到的是一个成熟、稳重而又不失浪漫情怀的理查德,这张专辑同样受到歌迷的欢迎。

自从1997年发表《Flesh & Bone》专辑之后便在萤光幕前销声匿迹的Richard大哥其实一点儿也没闲着,退居幕后的他陆续帮Barbra Streisand、Josh Groban、Vince Gill、98°、Luther Vandross、Rod Stewart、Sarah Brightman、Lara Fabian、Natalie Cole、Hugh Jackman、Samantha Cole和Sissel等人写歌/录制专辑在排行榜上屡获佳绩,为'NSYNC谱写的抒情冠军单曲《This I Promise You》更让他跻身王牌制作人之列!畅销情歌合辑也总忘不了收录Richard Marx沧桑独具、沙哑有味的《Right Here Waiting》、《Now And Forever》等经典情歌。休息了七年祭出的全新专辑《My Own Best Enermy》,Richard想要表现的正是一个和自己争战的灵魂。继曾写过一首Thanks to You献给母亲的Richard Marx,在新专辑中则是用一首《The Other Side》献给他最敬爱的已故父亲,和从事广告歌曲制作的父亲感情十分深厚,在音乐上,父亲更是他的良师,1994年Richard在美国巡回演出时,父亲甚至带了六人弦乐团跟着他四处奔,Richard的父亲逝世让他受到很大的打击,在他心目中,父亲是他心中最伟大的音乐家。2004年初葛莱美奖颁奖礼上,拿下“年度歌曲”的是好久不见的情歌圣手Richard Marx,他和Luther Vandross合写的《Dance With My Father》,不但成为葛莱美上的焦点、Richard Marx也说:“这个奖本身对我很有意义、对Luther更是,我感到骄傲。” 在去年夏天加入EMI唱片的Richard Marx因为葛莱美光环加持身价水涨船高,钟爱Richard的歌迷更是难忘他愈发沧桑性感的“男人味”;

2008年,“音乐坐标”(Vertical Horizon)的主唱Matt Scannell 与Richard Marx在08年合作举行了一系列演唱会,并合作演唱了许多双方的经典曲目并重新用不同的方式演绎。包括理查德的最新专辑《Sundown》的《Always On Your Mind》,vertical horizon的《Give You Back》。这张专辑就是他们的合作曲目。

录音室专辑《Sundown》是随着《Emotional Remains》一起在2008年10月31日数字发行的,是理查德马克斯的第九张录音室专辑。包括了自己创作的几首歌,并与畅销歌手Toni Braxton、著名乡村歌手和歌手Vince Gill合唱。另外也包括了一些滚石乐队、披头士乐队的经典曲目。这是马克斯的第一张数字发行的专辑。除了《Wild Horses》,还有著名乡村歌手和创作人Vince Gill合作翻唱的披头士经典歌曲《And I love her》;翻唱自Roberta Flack的 《The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face》、Sade的《Ordinary Love》,以及与流行歌手合作的原创歌曲《Suddenly》都展现了理查德的广阔的音域和独特的演奏手法。

2009年,格莱美奖歌手,创作人、制作人,“情歌王子”理查德马克思暌违三年,发布他的最新个人专辑——《Emotinal Remains》。11首全新曲目将在9月22日在亚马逊官网,以数字发行和双CD的方式发售。无论是《Better or worse》这样一首朗朗上口节奏轻快的摇滚民谣,或者是一首《From inside》这样快歌搭配上深沉而丰满的自白式的唱词外加摇滚味道十足的吉他,都展现了理查德多样的创作风格。

Richard Marx于2012年6月1日推出精选集《Inside My Head》。10月发行录音室专辑《Christmas Spirit》。

2013年2月发行单曲《Just Go》。

2014年发行精选集《Now And Forever: The Ballads》和录音室专辑《Beautiful Goodbye》。

In Episode 102 of the first season, Marx appeared along with Kenny Loggins, Nathan Lee, and rock band Three Doors Down.

In an interview published in ‘Rolling Stone’ Magazine on June 26, 2009, Marx said he was "ashamed" of having been linked to a $1.92 million fine against single mother Jammie Thomas-Rasset by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Rasset had shared 24 songs on the file-sharing website Kazaa in 2005, and Marx's "Now and Forever" was one of them.
