Mollo is best known as the guitarist for Sumo from 1984 until the band's dissolution after Luca Prodan death in 1987 and, shortly thereafter, a co-founder of Divididos.

Mollo's passion for the guitar first started when a friend, at the age of thirteen, introduced him to the works of Jimi Hendrix. Mollo was enchanted by his music and would later try to follow his musical style. Mollo said in an interview, "It's impressive how he played the guitar without the effects that exist today."
Mollo is known for his virtuosity on the guitar, and particularly for his version of "Voodoo Child" by Jimi Hendrix, which he has played on his guitar using his teeth or objects thrown by the public including carrots, , sandals, tennis balls, or White cane for the Blindness.Fundación Konex Premios Konex: Ricardo Mollo Retrieved December 7, 2015 Biography of Divididos Retrieved December 7, 2015
