Richard "Biff" Frederick Stannard was born in 1966. His breakthrough in the music industry came with English boyband East 17. Stannard met singer and songwriter Tony Mortimer and introduced him to music manager Tom Watkins, who Stannard was dating at the time. Stannard went on to be the executive producer of East 17's debut album, Walthamstow (1992), and produced two songs for the follow-up album, Steam (1994).
In 2010, he founded the label Major Label with Adam Clough and Paul Smith. Their first signing was English synthpop duo Hurts in 2009.
