Boardman co-founded Delphic with close friends Matt Cocksedge and James Cook – after their previous group, Snowfight in the City Centre, disbanded.

In 2009 the band toured the UK music festival circuit, playing at T in the Park, Reading and Leeds Festivals, and Creamfields, among others. In November of the same year they made their first TV appearance appearing on Later... with Jools Holland playing "Doubt" and "Halcyon".

Delphic were one of the 15 shortlisted music acts for the BBC Sound of 2010 as announced on Monday 7 December 2009. When the winners were announced in early 2010, it was revealed the band had placed third on BBC Sound of 2010, after Ellie Goulding and Marina and the Diamonds.

The Six are a Manchester song writing and production collective founded by Richard Boardman. Boardman started 'The Pop Project' at Leeds College of Music where he auditioned lots of pupils to find talent for his writing team.
