Riah

Seymour Sounds is designed for those who want to hear the music breathe. Across six weeks, we are re-opening our courtyard to host an intimate series of back-to-back live sets from the heavyweights and rising stars of Sydney’s vibrant nu jazz and neo-soul scenes. This is an invitation to settle into the city’s living room - a space to gather, connect, eat, and unwind amid the warmth of live instrumentation. Experience artists pushing their own boundaries with two distinct live sets, evolving as the night transitions. Curated by John Troughton. Image credit: Leading Hand Design -- 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 Kaninna, 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. RIAH will be playing two 45 minute sets, at 6.30pm and 7.45pm, with DJ sets before, in between and after on Saturday 5 December. Register your attendance .
