Ricki Wood is a singer songwriter from a small town called Maffra in the Gunai / Kurnai region of Victoria.

When he was eight, he took a shine to the National branded Organ in the lounge and his dad knew where the ‘middle C’ was and which note that matched on sheet music. His dad added, ‘you figure out the rest’.

It was at that age that he decided that playing music would be his life.

When Ricky was 13, the family relocated to New Plymouth in New Zealand and that’s where he made friends with a few guys who played guitar and from there he delved into anything and everything to do with learning guitar.

His early influences were old blues greats like Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee and the Blues Brothers soundtrack, alongside stuff like Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson and all else that was 80’s music.
