Nigerian-born singer/songwriter, Riwo specializes in vocal composition and arranging. As the lead vocalist of Melafrique, an Edmonton-based, Afro-fusion band, she has gained recognition throughout the province for her impeccable songwriting skills, powerful stage presence, and her delectable vocals to match. Since moving to Canada in 2015, Riwo has collaborated with Titilope Sonuga, Callie Day, Arlo Maverick, K-riz, Martin Kerr, The Melisizwe Brothers, and more. With a passion for sharing her own stories, she delves into neo-soul, R&B, and Afro-jazz genres, curating her own distinct voice with each record released. Using music as the catalyst for new healing journeys, Riwo facilitates an atmosphere of connectivity, life, and a sense of homecoming for her audience. From a very young age, Riwo began to master the art of telling the story of her world and experiences uniquely through music. Songs like Better if You’re You, Warrior and Don't Let Go are proof that she is also not afraid to talk about the uncomfortable stuff. Her highly anticipated debut album, "Grown Child", was released in January 2024 and can be found on all streaming platforms.
