Биография

Previously hailed by the New York Times for her “crisp songwriting” and praised by The Line of Best Fit as landing "somewhere between the Tove Lo, Broods, and Phoebe Ryan realm of atmospheric alternative pop,” Riah is the kind of mesmerizing vocalist whose sheer magnetism is matched only by her remarkable versatility. The breakout star-in-the-making has already racked up over 27 million streams on Spotify alone, placed songs on hit television shows like Grey’s Anatomy, and performed for thousands at Coachella, all as a totally independent artist. In both her personal and professional life, Riah's accomplishments stack up quickly. The Los Angeles native is not only a skilled songwriter and performer, but she recently became a mother. Her collaboration with Shallou has 78 million streams on Spotify and counting. She's opened for LANY at the Shrine and in Anaheim, as well as performed for iconic, intimate Soho House shows in LA and New York. As a songwriter, Riah delivers a piercing clarity that commands the stage so much so, her pathway into the spotlight appears is as pre-destined as it born from a tremendous leap of faith to push her introverted nature in front of a microphone. Riah's debut Heartbreak Magic EP, which she wrote and recorded with longtime collaborator Chad Copelin (Sufjan Stevens, Ben Rector), prompting Flaunt to profess, "this rising star has not stopped ascending higher," and that trend continues with "Can't Lose You Now."
