Artist Confidential: Artist Confidential: Richard Marx
XMX – XM 2
All Day
Richard Marx's music career started very early. At age 5, he was singing some of the commercial jingles written by his father; little did anyone know that he'd grow up to become one of music's most successful acts of the late 80's and early 90's. With a smash debut in 1987 that sold over 4 million copies, Richard Marx's star rose quickly - his next album was even more popular than the first, and more platinum-selling albums followed into the 1990s. Join us for a special one-on-one session with Richard Marx, as he sings some of his classic hits and talks about his life in music, giving up the Los Angeles scene in the 90's for his hometown of Chicago, future plans and a lot more. "Artist Confidential" featuring Richard Marx: an XM Exclusive.
