Richard Terfry, better known as Buck 65, is a Canadian hip hop artist, MC and turntablist. He was born and raised in Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia, a small rural town outside of Halifax.

Richard Terfry was first exposed to rap music in the mid-1980s while listening to Halifax campus community radio station CKDU. CKDU broadcasts at only 33 watts, and Richard has said that he had to climb a tree in his yard in order to be able to hear the station's hip hop show on his cheap transistor radio. This lead to a fascination with hip hop. Richard taught himself how to rap, DJ, and produce records. He later hosted a hip-hop show on CKDU called "The Bassment" (later renamed "The Treatment), which aired for many years.
