Born as Ricardo Marcelis Clark, he began singing at the age of 6 and soon after joined his church choir where he gained most of his early musical experience. As a teenager, Rico was introduced to Classical music and began to receive formal vocal training. During this time he was a part of his school's chorus, gospel choir, concert chorale, and Honor Choir.
