Rick Musallam is the rare type of musician that improves a song before he even plays a note.  He is able to both recreate any difficult piece of music given to him as well as compose a new part for himself within an established groove.  Playing  with everyone from Carly Simon to the Roots to reggae singer Pato Banton has ensured that he has the ability to fit into any genre while maintaining his own personal sound.  Rick's role in Gryphon Labs is to glue everything together, yet he still roars like an uncaged beast when he solos.

Rick lives in Los Angeles, and loves to try out new healthy restaurants when he’s not in his studio or spending time with family and friends.
