Richard Russell is a distinguished English record producer and music executive renowned for his pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of XL Recordings. He was born in Dollis Hill, London, England, on March 18, 1971.

Joining the label as an A & R scout in 1991, Russell quickly rose through the ranks, showcasing his keen eye for talent and innovative approach to music production. In 1992, he made waves with the release of "The Bouncer," a seminal single produced alongside his duo Kicks Like a Mule, marking the beginning of his influential career. Over the years, Russell's astute leadership and creative vision propelled XL Recordings to new heights, earning him the position of chairman and half-owner by 2007.
