When Rich Saunders was a child, he and his family would spend long, relaxing afternoons sitting in a circle, singing together in the way that only blood relatives truly can: creating close harmonies whose naturally blending tones seem the result of some kind of inbuilt genetic code. Fast forward a couple of decades and, though much has happened in the interim – a period as one-third of Universal-signed group Thirdstory; a stint singing backing vocals for Chance the Rapper; a trans-Atlantic, more experimental duo going by the name Refs; and an exploding TikTok profile with over 750K followers – it’s still those magical vocal moments that are at the crux, however now they’re coming primarily from the singer himself under new, voice-centric solo project Rich.Jake Sherman is an American singer-songwriter and producer. He has released four solo albums on which he sings and plays all of the instruments. Sherman began playing piano at the age of four and initially played Scott Joplin rags before becoming heavily influenced in jazz by Jimmy Smith and Herbie Hancock. As a sideman, he has performed with Bilal, Meshell Ndegeocello, Nick Hakim, Blood Orange, Doobie Powell, Andrew Bird, Benny Sings, Emily King, Gabriel Garzon-Montano, Ralph Peterson Unity Project, Warren Wolf, and David Fiuczynski, among others.
