RICHIE GOODS & CHIEN CHIEN "CONNECTED"

Fri, Feb 07

"CONNECTED” was formed in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown. Richie Goods and Chien Chien had frequent conversations about the Black Lives Matter movement and the unwarranted hate crimes against Asians. They decided to do a project that would unify people and invoke imagery of love and peace. Chien Chien's foundation in classical music provides a rich and textured canvas that allowed their collaborative work to flourish. Her intricate knowledge of classical nuances intertwines seamlessly with Richie's R&B and funk background, creating an enchanting juxtaposition of genres that breathes life into their compositions. They decided to cement their musical relationship by creating “CONNECTED”, their band featuring Richie Goods on bass and Chien Chien on vibraphone, Quintin Zoto-guitar and Smithsonion-drums. CONNECTED won the 2023 Golden Melody award in Chien Chien's native Taiwan for Best Instrumental Album.
