Riovaz on Tour

New Jersey-based artist Riovaz adeptly blends drum and bass, pop, post-punk, and dance music. Known for his breakout track "Prom Night," which he released in 2020 while still in high school, Riovaz recorded it in his brother's bedroom when he was just 15. The catchy tune has now surpassed 100 million streams, has been featured in countless TikTok videos and catapulted Riovaz from bedroom obscurity to a headlining tour and more than 2 million monthly Spotify listeners.

Capturing the imagination of disaffected teenagers stuck in their bedrooms during the COVID-19 lockdown, the track is an honest reflection of teen angst and heartbreak with the lyrics, "Woke up, got down, now I'm feeling like death."

Before releasing "Prom Night," Riovaz had been secretly making music in his bedroom that he regularly posted to Instagram and Soundcloud, but it wasn't until "Prom Night" took off that he told his family about his musical aspirations.

Growing increasingly confident in his voice, his music and the accompanying videos he creates, Riovaz is still discovering who he is as an artist. The release of hits including 2021's "I Feel Fantastic" and being featured on rapper KA$HDAMI's "Trust Issues" proves he's more than just a flash in the pan.

Don't miss your chance to see this rising star in intimate venues on his headlining tour around the U.S., UK and Europe in early 2023 before he's packing out major festivals.

Riovaz Live in Concert

Raised in Jersey City, New Jersey, Riovaz was surrounded by music from a very young age. His sister was a singer, his brother was a passionate music fan and his parents would often listen to '80s pop music around the house, including Michael Jackson and Argentinian alternative rock.

Riovaz initially tried his hand at music playing video games like "Guitar Hero" and began writing his own songs at the age of 13. He started posting songs to SoundCloud and Instagram, but found that he was teased for his creativity by the kids at his high school. He was getting ready to throw in the towel when he texted a friend saying he wanted to quit making music. His friend picked up the phone to talk him out of it, and told him to just be consistent. Riovaz took his friend's advice and has lived by the belief that if you make things consistently, eventually something good will happen.

And so it did with the release of his hit tune "Prom Night," which catapulted Riovaz's career into the stratosphere and amassed him millions of fans around the world. He released the 2022 EP Better Late Than Forever, which expands on his sound by combining house and folk music and delighted his ever-growing fanbase.
