Rick Hopkinson is a Composer, Pianist, Guitarist and Sound Designer from Halifax, West Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom.
He has played musical instruments for over 25 years after being initially introduced to music by his family as a young child. Rick's first experience of playing musical instruments was through watching his grandparents play the electric Organ in their family home in Halifax.

Rick developed his organ playing and understanding of music; and as he grew older he continued to fall deeper in love with movie soundtrack music. This is still his favorite genre today.
In the mid 90's he started playing the electric guitar after being heavily influenced by bands like Oasis and the UK indie scene. In 1999 Rick played the guitar and piano in a Halifax based rock and roll band called Kubrick. The band played a large number of performances around the north of England over the course of 10 years. Kubrick went on to win the Pulse radio: Party In The Park competition 2004. As a result the band opened the festival in front of approximately 15,000 people at Myrtle Park, Bingley in West Yorkshire.

After leaving Kubrick and taking a 5 year break from music; Rick embraced the opportunity to start working on his own compositions in post-classical music. He quickly found a hunger to write his own instrumental compositions while on his lunch break at his place of full time work.

Rick's musical work has included writing and recording music for Calderdale College's 'Open Space' acting performance theatre. He has played live music for 'Saltaire Shakespeare's: Shakespeare In The Park'.

Rick has collaborated with students from 'The Northern Film School' based in Leeds Beckett University, where he composed music for synchronizing with their projects in film and animation.
He continues to produce music for Film.

Rick has now started working on writing and recording music for his first EP / Album.
