RIAH
Music
RIAH is a R&B singer-songwriter from southwest Sydney. She is of Tongan, Fijian, Italian and Aboriginal (Kamilaroi) descent. Her sound is shaped by her heritage and deep love for 90s R&B, inspired by artists like Aaliyah, Selena, and H.E.R.
RIAH won Triple J’s Unearthed High Indigenous Initiative in 2024 which led her to being handpicked by The Kid Laroi for his SXSW Showcase. She has also supported artists including Miss Kaninina, Budjerah, Electric Fields, 3%, BARKAA, Kobie Dee 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.
