Richardson was born in Toronto, Ontario, and had early musical training playing in various school bands. By 1949 he was playing professionally in "The Westernaires" who had a regular radio program. In 1958 he was working as an account executive for McCann-Erickson, a firm that produced a regular television program and in the mid 1960s Richardson and three others from this firm decided to form their own production company, Nimbus 9. Initially, audio recording was only one aspect of Nimbus 9, which was formed to provide multi-media production to their clients. Within a brief period of time, however, audio recording became the single focus of operations.
Richardson was born in Ashfield, New South Wales, the son of a railway employee. He was educated at the Law School of the University of Sydney and admitted as a solicitor in 1952. During the Second World War, Richardson served with the Royal Australian Air Force in an anti-aircraft battery between 1941 and 1945.
Richardson was elected to the New South Wales Parliament as the Labor member for Ashfield at the 1952 by-election caused by the resignation of the sitting Liberal member Athol Richardson who had accepted a position as a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. He lost the seat at the state election held in 1953. He did not hold ministerial, parliamentary or party office and retired from public life.
He married Roma Bezant Conlon in 1956 and she died in 1981. He had an only daughter Ann Frances born in 1958. In 1982 He married Diana, Baroness von Kohorn zu Kornegg. She was the granddaughter of former premier John Storey.
