Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Richie Campbell is one of Portugal’s top musical artists and the country’s biggest musical export of the past decade. His distinctive sound fuses R&B, Reggae, and Dancehall into something truly unique and a reflection of Lisbon’s vibrant cultural mix.
A standard-bearer of the new wave of Portuguese music, Richie first gained national attention with his debut album Focused, which earned him his first gold record. His follow-up albums — In the 876, and Lisboa—featured names like Agent Sasco and Jesse Royal, pushing genre boundaries and topping digital charts. Lisboa became the most-streamed Portuguese album of 2017, solidifying his place in the mainstream.
With a string of multi-platinum singles and headline performances—including sold-out shows at Lisbon’s top venues Campo Pequeno and Altice Arena—Richie Campbell has set new standards for independent artists in Portugal. His international impact is equally notable—he has performed across Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean as well as toured with reggae legend Anthony B.
In addition to his musical achievements, Richie is also the co-founder of Bridgetown Records, Portugal’s largest independent label playing a key role in shaping the country’s modern music landscape.
With his 2023 release Heartbreak & Other Stories—featuring collaborations with global names like Bella Shmurda and Jah Vinci—Richie Campbell continues to evolve, innovate, and bring Lisbon’s sound to the world stage.
