"Richie Nieto rocks. I hired Richie to work on three games we developed this year at EA. As a sound designer he was blazing fast and spot-on. His instincts were always outstanding. On more than one occasion, his sounds would stop co-workers on their tracks, 'Whoa, that was amazing!' [...] I hate to let the secret out, but Richie's a great talent and deserves to make his way in the industry. I highly recommend him."

“Richie is a perfect example of someone with a detail oriented approach to sound who is able to merge that level of quality with the challenging nature of interactive. His grasp of implementation middleware, tools, and how they integrate within the game engine speaks directly to his passion for games and ability to straddle the fence between linear and interactive media. If you're looking for a self motivated tireless workhorse, look no further!"

"Richie is a remarkable composer. He can take just a few words describing an emotion or even a color, and capture it perfectly. He punctuates any kind of game play seamlessly. A pleasure to work with and lightning fast, I am grateful we have Richie to count on for all of our game music needs."

"Richie is fantastic to work with . One of the many things I really admire about Richie is that he's so genuine and kind, making him hands down one of the easiest and best guys to work with. It's very nice knowing you work with someone that you can trust to get their work done well, take direction well, and offer expert opinions in a manner that makes him invaluable. He's always come through and delivered great results for us in his sound design and musical compositions."

"Richie is a rare combination of extreme talent, genuine modesty, and generosity in spirit. We met a few years back, and since then have collaborated in various capacities on numerous audio projects. Richie excels in whatever he turns his hand to, and he does so in a manner that radiates enthusiasm and cheerfulness. His sense of humour is as sharp as his audio skills, which makes working with him all the more enjoyable. I feel privileged to call him a friend as well as collaborator."
