Rick Seibold (/ˈsaɪboʊld/ SY-bohld; born April 16, 1983) is an American singer-songwriter from Wilmington, North Carolina, now based in Los Angeles, CA. Seibold has received considerable recognition as an independent recording artist from his debut record "That's the Day". He has worked with artists such as Lee DeWyze, David Archuleta, Katelyn Tarver, Kat DeLuna, and Alex Lambert.

Rick Seibold grew up on the East Coast in Wilmington, North Carolina. His music career began around age 10 when he appeared in the film The Road to Wellville as John Harvey Kellogg's son, played by Anthony Hopkins, singing the Christmas classic Silent Night. He started playing the guitar at age 15 and began writing songs soon after. Seibold states, "I began surfing earlier that summer, so naturally, images of life at the ocean seeped their way into my songs. Not long after I started playing, me and some friends started writing and recording together." He was also an accomplished wrestler. His career eventually garnered him an invitation to the United States Olympic Training Center before attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a varsity wrestler.
