Wilbert Richardson
Wilbert expresses himself as ambitious, talented and passionate towards his music. Born in North Philadelphia, Wilbert moved to Norristown in sixth grade and has been here ever since. He dedicates himself to singing and post his music and songs onto many social media platforms. He was involved in jazz band, chorus, select choir, and he continues to sing in his church choir. His biggest musical influence is Chris Brown, but in life, it’s his older sister, who sings and writes her own music as well.
“Norristown is a good place to reach your goal,” said Wilbert. “You have to be great in Norristown to change the negative representation that we have.”
Wilbert considers winning Mr. Norristown “a stepping stone in what I want to accomplish, I want to be a champion with my music”.
After graduation, he wants to go to college and become a history teacher, but he states that if his music were to take off, he would be both a history teacher and musician. The advice he gives to underclassmen is this: “Be yourself. I think trying to fit into a crowd will be the greatest mistake that you will make. If you’re not being great for yourself, you will never find your greatest satisfaction.”
