Singer-songwriter Richard Watts is set for the big time as he becomes part of Pioneering International Music Compilation to Help Benefit Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and to Breakthrough Independent Musical talent from around the World 
Richard Watts is delighted to announce he is to be included on the groundbreaking International Music Compilation The Greatest Music You've Never Heard Volume 1 to help benefit Breakthrough Breast Cancer, and to breakthrough independent musicians. 
The process of elimination was pain staking for the Producers at Mosquito Media in London.  There were hundreds of Independent artists and bands from around the world who sent their music in the hope of being involved in the project. Richard’s song “Forward Thinker", taken from his EP "Radiate" will be featured as one of the tracks on the album. 
Seventeen phenomenal artists have finally made the album. The best of the best Independent bands and artists from all over the world were chosen on talent, lyrics and music - regardless of age, sex, race, creed, colour, size or appearance. 
Kicking sand into the eyes of the Pop Idol philosophy the release of "The Greatest Music You’ve Never Heard Volume 1" is set to revolutionize the way independent artists break into the "business", and is exactly the backlash musicians and audiences around the world have been waiting for.  Simon Cowell, et al, watch out!! 
The Greatest Music You've Never Heard Volume 1 will be released in England, Europe and the United States, becoming an International tribute to Independent artists.  Richard feels that when there is a need for causes such as Breakthrough Breast Cancer the music and imagery of musicians brings people together to find a way to help raise money and help bring awareness to needy causes. Richard feels honoured to be part of this project and is delighted to be helping to raise money for such a good cause. 
The CD will be released in the UK on May 18th through an extensive campaign on UK National Radio stations, Television and print media by Mosquito Media followed by showcase parties at the Cobden Club in Notting Hill, and Cargo in Shoreditch, London, before a national tour of the featured artists.

Feb 6,2004 :  Got a note from Richard to keep you up to date : 
                         "I am concentrating on my own songs and trying to develop a band 
                           line up of my own at the moment.  It's great to be out there playing
                           my songs.  Lots of rehearsing and teaching the band new songs too."
                           I have been working with Robin, as usual, on various projects and 
                           enjoying every moment of it.  It's always a pleasure to work with Robin 
                           and I am continually learning from the experience. "
