Keith Richards is an English musician, songwriter, singer and record producer who is an original member, guitarist, secondary vocalist, and co-principal songwriter of the Rolling Stones.

His career spans over six decades, and his guitar playing style has been a trademark of the Rolling Stones throughout the band's career.
