Los Angeles, CA, February 1, 2016 (Newswire.com) - “I’m not just some YouTuber trying to throw random songs out there. I’m a real artist, expressing myself through my work”, says Ricky Dillon of his album, GOLD, which reached #3 on the iTunes Pop Charts the week of its release.
The first single, ‘Steal The Show (feat Trevor Moran)’ is out now, with a high-energy, sexy music video shot in Las Vegas, featuring gold-plated baths, martinis, fire breathers, and acrobats. It’s pulled over 1.2 million plays since its release on December 28.

The album’s release coincided with the music video release for Ricky’s collaboration with Snoop Dogg, ‘Problematic’. The video racked up over 1.1 million views in less than a week.
Ricky spent most of 2015 working on this album: “I was involved in writing more of the songs than in the past, and have writing credits on most tracks.” Ricky feels he has finally found his niche with his voice and believes this to be his best work - not only vocally, but also lyrically and production wise.
“Some of these songs are very personal to me, such as ‘Fight and Battle’, ‘Home Sweet Home’ and ‘Gold’”, says Dillon. “‘Fight and Battle’ is about overcoming personal struggles and mental battles with yourself," Dillon told PEOPLE.com. “And I don't open up very often … It's really nice for me to release something more personal.”
Dillon collaborates on this album with other big names Snoop Dogg and Trevor Moran, as well as with newcomer and best friend, Shelby Waddell.
Ricky’s goal for this album is to show everyone what his millions of online fans already know - that he’s the real deal.
“Ricky really loves stretching himself and we try to do the same with out music videos,” says Producer, Siddharth Ganji. “Sometimes that means we need fire breathers and sometimes that means Snoop Dogg’s going to be involved. Each video is more exciting than the last!”
