Passionate about his music, and the freedom to sell it directly to the audience, Richard McCluskey is the technical head behind MySongStore.com. Richard was CTO of a major Biz-op company before getting out of the corporate world shortly after the 'dot com' collapse in the late 1990's. Since then, he has worked as a software consultant specializing in Internet portals, credit card processing and Internet community building. Hugely involved in the Open Source phenomenon that has swept the software industry, Richard has brought some of that philosophy to the direct sale and distribution of music through MySongStore.com. The entire MySongStore.com software engine is written in Open Source software, running on Open Source Servers. As a musician, Richard has won 3 LA Music Awards, two with his old band Stirling Brig for which he received 'Rock Album of the Year 2000', and 'Rock artist of the year 2001', and 'International Songs of Peace Award' in 2004 with his new project H.E.L.P. Richards weapons of choice are his 1935 0017 Martin Acoustic, a self-build custom 'tele' styled electric guitar, a Fender Princeton, and a home computer running Debian Linux. Richard lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts. |
