Richgirl is an R&B girl group that blends the sexy sophistication of En Vogue with the youthful spirit of the Spice Girls. And for the past few years, under the watchful eye of record producer Rich Harrison, Audra, Brave, Lyndriette and Seven have patiently waited to take the musical world by storm.
Fresh off the road, as the opening act for Beyonce's I AM... World Tour, Richgirl has performed in front of hundreds of thousands and generated considerable buzz with "He Ain't Wit' Me Now (Tho)," the lead single off of their self-titled debut. In the weeks and months to come, expect young women across America claiming and professing themselves to be "Richgirls" too – young, focused and independent!
Upon the release of Richgirl, Audra, Brave, Lyndriette and Seven managed to squeeze some time out of their busy schedules and settle down for an interview with Clayton Perry — reflecting on Beyonce Knowles, "Millionaire," and their individual backgrounds.
On June 26, 2009, I had the pleasure of seeing you open for Beyonce in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. How did you manage to arrange such a wonderful opportunity?
Brave: From what we were told, she really liked the video and liked our song so her team reached out to us and asked if we would join the tour.
I know you've only had a few dates so far, but what have you learned about yourselves on the road?
Seven: I would have to say that I learned that I have little discipline when it comes to junk food on the road. I eat crazy and I need to cut it out! [laughing]
Brave: Every night, I'm looking forward to having a party on the stage. The stage for me is like the biggest party that we get to go to every night. I enjoy getting ready and getting pretty. [laughing] When I look at it this way, it helps me relax and remember to just have fun. It's hard work, but once we get on the stage and start dancing, it's just a lot of fun.
Audra: It's just a really good feeling to be in a position where we are now. For me, it seems like I blinked my eyes and the next thing I knew we were opening up for Beyonce. Being on the road, I can seriously watch Beyonce's show every single day and take notes and just learn from her. Right when I think I'm doing good, I look up to her and say, "Wow! I have so much to learn." I think I pick something up every single night watching her.
