Биография

RIOPY is a French-English performer who has fused minimalism, pop, jazz, and cinematic idioms into a distinctive crossover piano style. RIOPY discovered his vocation as a pianist from an early age. Initially a self-taught composer, he later studied at Oxford Brookes, building a successful career both as a performer and in the realm of television and film, where his evocative solo piano pieces provided the backdrop to several popular movie trailers. After signing with Warner Classics, he issued his eponymous debut album in 2018, followed by "Tree of Light" album in 2O19, and "Bliss" album in 2O21. His music imbued with great virtuosity, singular rhythm, and total freedom of expression has been identified by a receptive and loyal following. The album Tree of light became number 1 in the Classical and New Age charts on January 15th, 2O22. 2023 began with a stable position in the top 10 of the Billboard Classical Charts for 130 weeks, a feature on Lana Del Rey’s new album “Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd”, and his fourth album on April 14: THRIVE.
 The pianist found this collective strength in notes and themes of great composers from classical music history and in integrating strings into his compositions for the first time. THRIVE evokes the inner strength that guides us to fulfill our goals, the willpower that leads to positive evolution.
