My name is Richard van Esch but I've been using the name Richard Vaun (due to numerology).

I was born and raised in Holland, but decided to work on Cruise ships in the US for a couple of years before I fell in love with Brazil-zil-zil - the place I've been living for almost 19 years (in São Paulo).

I work for SBT, Brazil's 2nd largest TV free to air network as the adviser to the Owner (Mr. Silvio Santos) and The Board and I'm also in charge of international acquisitions.

Music is my hobby - I compose and sing my songs myself and I've recorded a few of 'em but decided not to concentrate myself a 100% on an artistic career as the music industry was going through some very very VERY rough times just when I was entering the PRIME of my professional and personal life ;-))

However, maybe my songs will make it to the top one day - 'cause hey : who doesn't like a juicy melodic pop song ?

I thank God for the talent He has given me and I thank YOU for reading this !!!

My best regards,

Richard Vaun
