Биография

With an eyebrow raising title, her latest single "You Take Up My Songs", is described as having a cosy and comforting aesthetic, like the gentle warmth of a campfire. Although Riya is talking about a somewhat hopeless situation, the music says otherwise and radiates an energy of hope and optimism. Rustic and earthy yet edgy, it projects an aura of clunky vintage rawness, authenticity with blooms of character and bursts of abstract vocal expressions. 
 It is said her voice has an almost enchanting quality to it as she pushes the boundaries of vocal colour and character, pulling in the listener with every vulnerable, quirky nuance. Having played the piano for over ten years, it is the musical medium she uses to help tell her stories and paint a thousand images which is reflected in her songwriting and unique sense of delivery. 
 "The piano is the root of every creation and the seed of all my emotions" 
 Despite Riya being a new, independent artist, the song has travelled through three of the most legendary studios in England. Starting off with Riya's original production which was developed and enhanced at RAK before moving into the hands of the iconic Abbey Road for mixing, ready for its final sign off by one of the country's leading engineers at Metropolis.
