EP158: Ricky Wilde

Today’s entertaining episode of Electronically Yours features on of Martyn’s best friends in the music business, Ricky Wilde. As brother of Kim Wilde, and son of 60’s pop star Marty Wilde, he is the songwriter, musician, and record producer responsible for almost all of Kim’s massive worldwide hits, including Kids In America. He was originally spotted by Jonathan King and Micky Most, and was briefly touted as a teen idol – the new Donny Osmond if you like – when he was 12, but later he realised he preferred his role as songwriter/producer for Kim, amongst others. They continue to write and tour together to this day… Ladies and gentlemen – the supremely talented Ricky Wilde...
