Biografía
- Engaging different communities through musicWith her background originating in classical music and jazz, Riva fell under the spell of electronic music whilst growing up in the Middle East. From there, her taste and appreciation for music became borderless and eclectic, drawing inspiration from her British-Indian background and experiences of living in Hong Kong and South Africa. Her music does not hinge on one genre as Riva sees music as a form of storytelling, protest and is always on the hunt for rhythms that can spread a message, unify and emancipate the listener on the dancefloor. Now based in London, Riva is producing, promoting and DJing independently and through Daytimers, a collective that champions South Asian talent. Many more exciting projects lie on the horizon that allow Riva to continue her work on socio political projects whilst sharing her love for music and allowing those on the dancefloor escape reality for a few hours with her.
