Richard Archer is a music graduate from Kingston University.

He grew up in Staines, a suburban location of North West Surrey which has become a huge influence in the lyrics of the songs he has written with band Hard-Fi. He explains, "There's no record shops, there's no decent pubs, there's no venues, there's no decent clothes shops. Look around, it's quite pleasant but if you're a young person living here then you're into a certain type of music - chart house - and a certain fashion, and if you're not into that there is nothing here for you. Here, you can't get home if you're out in central London after eleven. There's no night bus, there's no late train, you have to get a cab if you can find one and that'll charge you eighty quid to get home from central London. A lot of people live like that."

His main interest was music, and his first ever band was formed when he was at school. They had a "ridiculous" name said Archer. They were, as Archer describes, a "joke heavy metal band, which was kind of like Spinal Tap meets Bad News". This gave them an excuse to wear unusual clothes on stage. He was also into football, and is a fan of Brentford F.C.
