VIP Ink Publishings Newest Author, Former Lead Guitarist of Rock Band Rev Theory

Richard Thomas AKA Rikki Lixx signs with VIP Ink Publishing

NEW ORLEANS, LA (May, 22, 2015) VIP Ink Publishing has signed its newest author Richard Thomas,
AKA Rikki Lixx, former lead guitarist for rock bands Operator and Rev Theory.
Richard Thomas is a talented musician who has been affiliated with several
musical groups throughout his career such as Jealous Type (Dangerous
Entertainment) in Philadelphia, Automatic Black on Arista, Operator
(Atlantic Records) and Rev Theory (Interscope Records/Idol Roc/Maloof
music/VANHOWES Records). He has toured with bands such as Lynyrd
Skynyrd, Avenged Sevenfold, Puddle of Mudd, BuckCherry, Papa Roach
and Staind. He has released several records with Rev Theory and is also an
endorsing artist of Epiphone/Gibson guitars.
Richards success did not come without trial. He developed a drug problem
that needed to be dealt with. Musicares sent Richard to rehab where he got
clean and started a new life musically and spiritually. He accepted Jesus
Christ into his heart and has ventured out independently as a Christian Rock
artist. His solo records include Truth, King of Kings, Spiritual
Warfare and Sinners Prayer featuring Tyler Thomas.
I write, record, engineer, produce, mix and master all my music by myself in my recording studio, just me
and The Holy Spirit. I havent put together a band yet. No plans to tour as of now. The future looks very
bright though, said Richard.
VIP Ink Publishing is looking forward to working with Richard on his book that will be a source of
encouragement for many.
