Singer-songwriter Rick Souder recently released his latest project, Out of the Darkness—a heartfelt and deeply personal musical journey now streaming on most major music platforms. With a style rooted in authenticity and a sound that spans from worship-inspired instrumentals to heavy rock and emotive ballads, Rick’s work is ready to find its way into your playlists and perhaps, into your soul.
A self-taught musician with over 25 years of experience, Rick has always played by ear—a skill that brings an organic, intuitive feel to his music. He handles every element of his recordings himself, from lead and rhythm guitar to bass, vocals, and even drum arrangements. While he loves playing real drums, space limitations led him to explore creative uses of drum loops, which he skillfully arranges to fit the tone of each song.
Rick’s approach to music is refreshingly uncommercial. He isn’t chasing fame or fortune—his only hope is that something in his songs might connect with someone on a meaningful level. With a backlog of nearly finished tracks, some needing lyrics and others just a final polish, Rick continues to shape a diverse catalog of music driven by heart and faith.
At the core of Rick’s creativity is a deep belief in God, and he openly shares that Yeshua is his Lord and Savior. His music reflects this conviction, not always in words, but often in the spirit and emotion embedded in every note.
Whether you’re drawn to powerful rock riffs, instrumental worship pieces, or intimate ballads, Rick Souder’s music offers a genuine expression of a life lived with purpose and passion. Out of the Darkness is just the beginning.
