Then:

​

           In 1997, recording artist Ricky G. burst on the music scene as the lead vocalist of the boy band ‘No Authority’, who later toured with 98 Degrees, Destiny's Child, Aaron Carter, Ashlee and Jessica Simpson among others.

In 2000, they signed with Madonna’s Maverick label to release their namesake album.  The album reached #18 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart.  The band then embarked on a United States 26 city tour with Britney Spears.

 

           Following the break-up of ‘No Authority,’ Ricky became the lead vocalist of Harlow from 2004-2009 during which time the album ‘Unstoppable’ was released, which was produced by Grammy Award winning producer, Randy Cantor (Ricky Martin).

 

Now:
