Roger Ricks

Roger Ricks is a Swiss rock musician, guitarist, songwriter, producer, and luthier based in Zürich, born on September 21, 1978. Growing up in Gommiswald, he discovered his passion for music after listening to Aerosmith’s "Get a Grip" in the early 1990s, which inspired him to teach himself guitar and eventually begin crafting his own instruments. Roger’s music blends classic rock and blues with contemporary influences, channeling his deep emotions and life experiences into songs known for their catchy melodies and heartfelt solos—evident in recent releases such as "Step Back," "I Would Do It," and "Demons". His work is also shaped by a strong sense of charity, with all proceeds from his music donated to support underprivileged children, particularly through school projects in Ghana.

With a catalog that includes tracks like "Clarity," "Sorry," "Forever," and "Still Miss You," Roger Ricks stands out not just for his skillful musicianship, but also for his mission to make a positive difference in the world. Every note he plays and every guitar he builds is part of his ongoing commitment to inspire hope and create change through the power of music.
