Rick Warren "Oceans"

Emerging indie pop artist, Rick Warren, paints the story of his debut single, "Oceans", on the bare walls of his childhood bedroom. With his father being an opera teacher and mother a singer/actress, Warren is both vocally gifted and classically trained. Growing up he listened to opera and later became enamored with the music of Jeff Buckley, Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, all of which helped him develop a unique musical style. After recording unreleased solo material for several years, Warren is set to release his debut solo album Proximity on July 14, 2015.
