RICHIE ONORI
president

Richie Onori is a unique individual, unlike many musicians of his caliber, he has toured and recorded with the who's who of the music industry while at the same successfully building marketing companies.

At the age of 22, Richie had his first break touring and opening for name acts such as Alice Cooper and Aerosmith. He went on as a world class drummer to perform, tour and record with such music icons as Rick Derringer, Brothers Johnson, Larry Carlton, Robbie Krieger (The Doors), Keith Emerson (ELP), Ronnie James Dio, just to name a few. In 1996, while touring with Bobby Kimball (Toto), Richie hooked up with Stuart Smith to form Heaven & Earth. Their two recording efforts have been hailed as classic rock masterpieces, receiving rave reviews worldwide. In addition to drumming, he also tours as a singer, guitarist and songwriter with his 11 piece band (The Richie Onori Band) featuring members from the Eagles and Eric Clapton.

His success and abilities as a musician never dampened his enthusiasm for business. His desire to do both fostered a bridge between two entirely different sides of the music business. The evolution of these two diverse experiences is Onori Accessories.
