Ricky Cheak

Ricky was born and raised in Rochester, MN and has been living there all his life. He attended John Marshall Highschool and completed a year at Rochester Community Technical College. Growing up, Ricky stayed busy with sports - playing soccer in the spring and summer, football in the fall, and hockey and basketball in the winter (needless to say, he’s a sports fan).

But his one true passion started at the age of 4. Music! His parents would take him to their band practice and gigs, and after experiencing the audience’s reactions to the music, he was motivated to start dabbling. Over the years, he learned how to play instruments and began creating his own music by age 14. He formed a group with childhood friends resulting in songs and videos that generated millions of views. Before he knew it, Ricky and his band were booking their own gigs, travling to cities across the country, and performing in front of thousands of people.
