RIAH is a R&B singer-songwriter from southwest Sydney, Dharawal Country. Her sound is shaped by her heritage and deep love for 90s R&B, inspired by artists like Aaliyah, Selena, and H.E.R. With velvety vocals and thoughtful lyrics, RIAH creates music that feels both nostalgic and personal — weaving together stories of identity, connection, and growth.
RIAH won Triple J’s Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative in 2024, a recognition that has helped bring her soulful sound to a broader audience. This has led RIAH to being handpicked by the Kid Laroi for his South By Southwest showcase, and supporting musical acts Miss Kaninina, Budjerah, Electric Fields, BARKAA and more. With a strong sense of identity and a deep connection to her roots, RIAH continues to create music that resonates with authenticity and emotion.
