He was born in 1949 on May 18. Wakeman was one of the first to start using electronic musical instruments with perfectly selected choral and orchestral intersperses. While studying in high school, Rick takes piano lessons, after graduation he enters the Royal College of Music, where he studies clarinet. At the age of 21, Wakeman took part in The Strawbs. In the same year, he collaborated with Ozzy Osbourne . In 1977, Rick Wakeman was invited back to Yes to record another album called Going For The One.
In the early 80s, the musical society is covered by a wave of interest in punk, and interest in the work of Rick Weikman decreases, which, however, does not upset the musician too much. In 1982, he released the album 1984, based on Orwell’s novel. During the 80s - 90s, the musician recorded several records, among which "G'ole!" is especially popular. In 1991, a series of albums in the spirit of ambient was released, and three years later the collections “African Bach”, “Heritage Suite” appeared. In the future, Wakeman suspends musical activities due to heart disease. At the beginning of the new century, Rick Wakeman released the album “Preludes to a Century”. Soon after, the musician assembles the English Rock Ensemble, with whom he tours and records. /
