Riki's professional music career began at Steeles Tavern on Yonge St. in Toronto in 1966 while attending Radio & Television Arts (R.T.A.) at Ryerson. After co-founding and managing the Pornographic Onion Coffee House in Ryerson's old library, Riki took off with his guitar on a journey across Canada and Alaska, ending up in Denver Colorado. There in the fall of 1970 he was signed to Tumbleweed Records. Tumbleweed Records was instrumental in inspiring Riki Gee to write, record and release two albums under their label, officially initiating the career of Riki Gee. Following this, Riki traveled extensively in the south west and along the west coast for the next twelve years, gaining invaluable experience performing full time and developing his truly original style.

Riki Gee returned to Guelph, Ontario in the fall of 1985 to discover a new music scene emerging on the horizon. 1986 found Riki diving in to his unexplored Celtic roots with "Celtic Blue," who were pioneering the development of what has become Celtic rock, Canada-style. Celtic Blue disbanded in 1991 after releasing two recordings and traveling nonstop in their legendary bus back and forth across the dominion. Riki Gee checked out the local scene and discovered many talented musicians/artists to collaborate with. One such musician/artist was Jeff Bird, whom Riki teamed up with and released a bizarre tape called "Dark Monkey's Laughing," which gained a loyal cult status and following.

After extensive gigging with Bill Kinnear and numerous other artists for the next four years, Riki has developed musical relationships with some of the finest musicians this area has to offer. Some of these musicians are:

Jeff Bird - Cowboy Junkies, Tamarack
Randy Coryell - Alannah Myles, Tom Cochrane
Lewis Melville - Rheostatics, Skydiggers
Tony Quarrington - Joe Hall, Willie P Bennett, CBC, The Continental Drift

Riki has utilized the talents of the musicians listed above, and more, in the creation of his new CD, " Lonely City Cowboy". Riki now plays with the Fisherman  and just about anyone who has room for a fiddler on stage. Cameo appearances on DROG releases are: Aaron Riches-Rain, Vicki Fraser-Dynamite Opening, Robert Atyeo- Heart Like A Rubber Ball, Dave Teichroeb-Dog Tales and  Jeff Bird CD's.
