Nacido el 16 de septiembre de 1963 en Winnetka, en el estado de Illinois,USA.
Hijo único de Ruth y Dick Marx, se trasladó a Los Ángeles para trabajar con Lionel Ritchie, que sería quien le diera una primera oportunidad. Su primer disco, "Richard Marx", se editó en Junio de 1987. Con él obtuvo un número uno con el tema "Should´ve known better". En su segundo trabajo, "Repeat Offender", grabó el que posiblemente sea su tema más conocido, "Right here waiting".

GAF Lots of promises in the dark
GABb Don't you open your heart

[Verse 3]
C The producer says "let me change a line or two"
BbF And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
C And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
FF When you're trying to make a living, there ain't no such thing as pride, oh no
