Richard 'Humpty' Vission is a prolific house music producer, remixer and DJ born Richard Gonzalez May 24 1973 in Toronto, Ontario. He was raised in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles, California.

Vission has an extensive resumé of remixes to his credit, many of which have charted well on the US dance charts. In addition he was a member of dance music acts The Movement and Pure Sugar.

As a solo artist he hit #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 2004 with "Never Let Me Down." In 2005 Richard released "Automatic". Automatic is a dual disc album featuring a new continuous DJ mix on CD 1, and his very first artist album on CD 2. CD 2 is filled with original tracks and remixes by Richard since 2003.

Richard also co-host a weekly radio show in L.A. with Swedish Egil entitled The Power Tools Mix Show on KPWR(Power 106).

Richard did a special 2 night reunion show with fellow House Connection mate Bad Boy Bill in Dallas and Detroit. This was the first time the two have spun together in 6 years. Rumors have started about a House Connection 3 being in the works. Bill is currently finishing up his "BTDLive" CD/DVD so if an HC3 album surfaces it will most likely not be released for some time.

Vission has started the band 'Stranger Days'. The style is according to the website, "..a fresh blend of 80's rock, 90's funk and electronic indie music" [http://www.strangerdays.com/ Strangerdays.com]

He is of Canadian, African, Mexican and Dutch heritage.
