R.I.O.

Hailing from Ripley, Tennessee, I am a vocalist with a lineage of ΓÇÿSoul and GospelΓÇÖ singers. Influenced by legends like Sam Cook and contemporary artists such as Ginuwine, my strong and soulful vocals blend old school riffs with new school lyrics. As a songwriter, I have collaborated with industry talents like Woody from Dru Hill and Steven Russell. Grateful for the support of my loyal fans, I am humbled by the million-plus followers on platforms like YouTube and Myspace, where my music has resonated with listeners worldwide in this 'Digital Age'.
