Biography
Richard Hansen’s obsession with sound started early. As a teenager in Christchurch, he got involved in the city’s music scene, singing and playing guitar in local bands. He was equally interested in radio and hosted a show on student station RDU while still a teen. "I was either playing in bands or watching bands," he says. "They were my two big passions: local music and radio."
