Rick Smith Biography

Rick Smith is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on May 25, 1959 in Ammanford, Ammanford, United Kingdom. Richard Smith (born 25 May 1959) is a Welsh musician. He is a founding member of British electronic music group Underworld and an acclaimed composer, having collaborated extensively with director Danny Boyle, most notably as the musical director for the London 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony, alongside Underworld’s Karl Hyde. He is also a founding member of the multi- discipline design and film collective Tomato.

Smith left a bank clerk job in Llanelli to do an electronic and electrical engineering degree, and was handy at fixing amps; he dropped out during his finals after being asked to join Hyde’s band The Screen Gemz. In 1983 they formed a second band with a proto-electroclash, New Romantic sound, whose name was a graphic squiggle but which was soon given a pronunciation; Freur, and recorded two albums for CBS Records International. Freur’s biggest success was the 1983 single, “Doot Doot” (UK No. 59), however they disbanded in 1986.

The Underworld of that period is now often referred to as “Underworld Mk1”, however this version of the band disbanded in 1990 and then became the Underworld we know today. Smith founded Underworld along with Karl Hyde, and the pair are the longest and only original serving members of the musical project, still performing together today.

Smith has been working with director Danny Boyle for two decades after the director used the band’s music in his 1996 film Trainspotting. As part of Underworld, Smith scored the soundtrack for Boyle’s stage production of Frankenstein in 2011, and in 2012 undertook a solo venture creating the soundtrack to Boyle’s film Trance. Smith was appointed the musical director for the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony which was directed by Boyle. Smith worked with Boyle on his 2017 follow-up film T2 Trainspotting.
