Riley Erin is a young musician and songwriter based out of the Phoenix, AZ valley. She demonstrated a strong musical gift at an early age and wrote her first song at the age of 11. She has exhibited a consistent passion to develop these gifts and works diligently to improve and grow through vocal lessons, instrumental training and co-writing experiences.
Riley is a sophomore in High School, plays on her school worship team and is a straight A student. Although Riley is well rounded with varied interests, she is far from the average teenager. She says grounded through her strong faith in God that is walked out in her daily life of worship and devotion.
Riley recently finished a four-song demo produced by B.J. Putnam and is pursuing her desire and calling to continue writing and recording original music. She has recently been able to be a part of several co-writing opportunities in Nashville, TN and some of her favorite songs have resulted from these creative collaborations.
She writes songs about worship, about her life and the issues that are relevant to her generation as well as people of all ages. Riley is excited about the amazing opportunities that are continually opening up for her and her music.
