Music Corner Week 5: RIRI

RIRI got her start in the music industry in 2011 when became a finalist on the program Next Star Generation Star, which was an audition show hosted by David Foster, a famous music producer. In 2012, RIRI performed in New York for the first time at the Dream Support Project and she got to meet her idol, Japanese R&B singer AI. In 2016 RIRI got her career started professionally with AI’s record label MIC-A-HOLIC Inc with AI as her producer and mentor. In 2017 RIRI was signed to Sony Music Japan and debuted with her first album, RIRI.

RIRI’s music style incorporates the use of R&B and pop tunes which flow with her powerful vocals. RIRI’s vocal ability far precedes her years. In her song “RUSH” you hear the power in her voice mixed with the R&B style and use of English, making it a more a western style song. “HONEY” showcases RIRI’s vocal abilities alongside the mid-tempo R&B/pop music style.

With several releases under her belt, RIRI isn’t stopping now. In an interview with music producers while performing for auditions at Hard Rock Cafe she stated her goal is to bring her music to the world and win a Grammy. Currently RIRI has two EPs which were released in 2016 and 2017 (“I love to sing” and “RUSH”), two studio albums both released in 2018 (RIRI and NEO), and a new EP dropping May 22! She recently collaborated with rapper Junoflo on her latest song “luv luv”.
