Musical artist
Richard Thurston (born January 6, 1973) is an American musician, songwriter and mixed martial artist.[1][2] Thurston was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but moved to Florida in his late teens.[3] He notably performed in such hardcore and metalcore bands as Timescape Zero, Culture, Blood Has Been Shed, Until the End, Diecast, Terror, Walls of Jericho, On Bodies and As Friends Rust.[4] He has lived in and performed with bands from Florida, Virginia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Michigan and Ohio, the latter of which has been his home since 1997.[5][6]
Thurston is a multi-instrumentalist musician and vocalist, having performed guitar, bass and drums in addition to vocals in several of his bands.[3][7] He has also been straight-edge and vegan since 1994, participating in several bands that vocalized those beliefs and ethics.[3][8][9][10]
Thurston began training as a mixed martial artist in 2003.[11] During his inaugural amateur fight on November 5, 2004, he dislocated his elbow while against opponent Joshua Blanchard.[12][13] In November 2006, Thurston became a professional fighter.[11][14]
