(Andrew) Chad Richardson (b. March 17, 1970, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada) is a Canadian music producer, singer-songwriter, musician and actor.
While attending the music program at Concordia University in Montreal, Chad won a nationwide search by HMV for Canada's "best undiscovered vocalist", which led to the recording of his first independent album 2 People. In 1997, Chad won the Homegrown contest sponsored by Toronto radio station Q107, which resulted in the production of his second record, The Legends of Brud, and a record deal with Aquarius/EMI.
While recording The Legends of Brud, Chad auditioned for the Canadian production of the Broadway musical RENT, landing the lead and soon after receiving a Dora nomination for his performance. After the show's run he was transferred to the Broadway production. While in New York, he produced his third album no. 1 fan.
Today, Chad resides in Los Angeles and is Vice-President of the recording studio and production company Inside Music Inc. He is also a principal partner in Arrival at Eleven Productions, which specializes in music for television, film and video games.
Chad is one half of the production/songwriting team jACK (along with partner Craig McConnell). The pair won the USA Songwriting Competition for best R&B song in 2002.
