Ritchie was born in England and spent his early childhood there before moving to Brazil during his youth. After settling in Brazil, he developed an interest in music and pursued formal musical education, studying classical flute. Prior to achieving commercial success as a solo artist, Ritchie was active in Brazil’s music scene, collaborating with other musicians and participating in various projects. His academic training and early professional experiences contributed to the development of his musical style and facilitated his integration into Brazilian popular music, where he would later become associated with the pop and rock movements of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Ritchie authored several hits such as "Menina Veneno", "A Vida Tem Dessas Coisas", "Pelo Interfone", "Casanova", and "Vôo de Coração". His voice has been part of telenovela soundtracks, such as Champagne ("Casanova"), A Favorita ("Fala"), or Roque Santeiro ("Coisas do Coração"). In the 1990s he was part of the band Tigres de Bengala, alongside Claudio Zoli, Vinicius Cantuaria and other musicians.

Ritchie is currently married to Leda Zuccarelli, he has two daughters (Lynn and Mary) and a grandson, Pedro.
