原名Richard Starkey,出生於1940年7月7日,幼年時父母離婚,Ringo體弱多病。他十幾歲時,繼父買了一套二手的鼓給他。一開始Ringo Starr被許多樂隊解聘,後來他終於找到一個家" Rory Storm & the Hurricanes "; Rory Storm是一位秀場主持人,他堅決認為Richard重新命名為Ringo Starr會使他的節目增加光輝,而後Hurricanes在利物浦變成最受歡迎的流行樂隊之一,在漢堡的Kaiserkeller俱樂部他們常在節目單的最上面,還在The Beatles之上,而那時The Beatles的鼓手Pete Best並不是很可靠的鼓手,如果Pete沒有演出,Ringo偶而會代替他出場。後來Ringo在歌迷的抗議聲中加入了The Beatles,並逐漸被接受和喜愛。
1969年The Beatles解散,Ringo Starr有一段很成功的獨唱經歷,他總出了八張專輯和13支單曲,也同時在許多的電視做秀演出,包括他個人的特別目"Ringo Starr",和迷你系列" Princess Daisy " 與他的妻子 Barbara 一同演出。
1992年組成 The All-Starr 樂隊,於1992年6月開始在美國和歐洲巡回演出,成員包含其子Zak,吉他手Dave Edmunds、Nils Lofgren、Todd Rundgren 和 Joe Walsh,薩克斯風Tim Cappello,低音提琴手Timothy.B.Schmit 和鍵盤手Burton Cummings。2005年Ringo還發行過個人專輯。
