Ridley Bent is an entertainer, a recording artist currently residing in Vancouver, B.C. He`s a crooner, a gee-tar player and a songwriter with a knack for detail. He`s hell on wheels with a microphone whether he`s fronting a band or on stage all by his lonesome. He has mastered the art of telling a story. Love and murder, dope and glory, politics, western fiction, pop culture is Ridley`s addiction. Throw in some break beats, phat bass, sweet country lead and a melody and you`ve got yourself an earful of Hick Hop. A new sound that`s already made more than a few jaws drop.

Born in Halifax Nova Scotia, Ridley Bent spent his youth as an army-brat traversing across the vast expanses of Canada. He listened to his Pa play Johnny Cash and Hank Williams on his beat-up old guitar. He never did dig that old country and western. He preferred Brit-Pop and Hip Hop but those old tunes must have sunk into his subconscious because that southern twang is evident in his songs.

He first picked up a guitar in Whistler BC when he came to the realization that a career as a professional skier was out of his reach. Against his loving mothers better judgment he decided to pursue a career in music. Maybe one day perform with Frank Black or the Beastie Boys. He figured if he told good stories, used lots of rhymes and played guitar at the same time, then as a songwriter, he`d probably do just fine.

I'm Johnny Cash when I'm drinkin',

I'm the Clash when I'm thinkin

I'm Mad Max when I'm drivin',

I'm Mike Diamond when I'm rhymin'

I'm Humphrey Bogart when I'm smokin',

I'm Bob Marley when I'm tokin

And in bed when I'm dreamin

I'm a guitar slingin' demon.

Good lyrics. Kind of remind me of the sort of stuff TD Lind is writing at the moment.
