Patrick Appiah better known as Ricks is a Dutch/Ghanian DJ from Amsterdam. Ricks has

had a strong preference for music since an early age. Guided by a mentor he has been

honing his dj skills since 2010. Ricks is mainly known for his strong Afro sounds, but his

Hip-Hop & RnB sounds are also very strong.

He is one of the resident deejays of the successful Afrolosjes event, he played at several

festivals like Amsterdam Open Air, Appelsap, Lowlands, Encore Festival and many

more. But also outside The Netherlands; he played in London, Germany and Ghana.

Next to gigs, he had a weekly radioshow for a few years. And offcourse you can find him

during ADE every year. He knows how to entertain the crowd with his energetic

performance; even the oldest daughter of Barack Obama went wild during Ricks' set in

the former Sugar factory in Amsterdam!
