About Ricko.6ix3o

Born July 15th, Derrick "Ricko.6ix3O" Embrey is a versatile yet, distinct intermediate producer & photographer from the stomping grounds of the "HUMBOLDT PARK" Community on the We$tSide of Chicago 🌐

Ricko.6ix3O has indulged in music production since the age of 13. Losing his mother to a tragic car accident at such a young age, he pursued hobbies such as music production & basketball to keep his mind calm & to honor his mother's love for music. He was genuinely inspired by commonly known music producers such as Lex Luger, Jahlil Beats & Chicago's Very Own "Young Chop Beatz."

At the age of 15, Ricko moved to Aurora, Illinois, where he happened to become a part of an after school program called "Rap Club." This program allowed students (who were aspiring artists, producers, photographers, graphic designers, poets, and more) from all grade levels have an opportunity to showcase their work.

Ricko finally discovered his true passion for music instrumentals & beat making his freshman year of high school & then he decided to take his music more seriously. Through his breakout year in music, he met & collaborated with amazing talents throughout the Aurora (630) area.
