Ricky Haydari Akdogan, better known as Ricky Rich, is a Swedish rapper of Assyrian descent, identifying under the Syriac-Aramean label.[1] He lives in Västerås.[2] [3]

Ricky Rich collaborated with Aram Mafia (stylized as ARAM Mafia)[4] and made up of producers Peter Mrad and Marcus Turan, resulting in a great number of charting hits and songs in 2018 and 2019. Most notable was the single "Habibi" that became an international hit for the formation Ricky Rich & ARAM Mafia charting in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, as well as Sweden, and playing heavily on many other Scandinavian and European radio stations. On 12 April 2019, Ricky Rich and ARAM Mafia released the album Shhh on the label Spinnup containing many joint hits, notably the title song "Shhh" and the single "Richba". The 7-track EP peaked at number 3 on the Swedish Albums Chart and spent 21 weeks on the chart.

Ricky Rich followed up with his own 6-track solo EP Highs and Lows released on Warner Music Sweden,[5] which peaked in its first week of release at number 7 on the Swedish Albums Chart. The album stayed for a total of 7 weeks in the chart.
