Riki Buckingham – Vocals, Guitar, Songwriting with Amir Mojazzer (Drums) & Lela Mai (Violin) Riki Buckingham is a dynamic British singer, guitarist, and songwriter whose music seamlessly blends the soul of funk and blues with the sophistication of jazz, the passion of flamenco, and vibrant world influences. Renowned for his emotive vocals, intricate guitar work, and magnetic stage presence, Riki delivers performances that move audiences on a deeply emotional level while inspiring them to dance, connect, and celebrate. His music has been shaped by years of adventurous travel and a profound connection to nature — including a transformative solo cycling and busking journey through France and Spain that deeply influenced his songwriting and sound. Recording much of his work in his own handcrafted studio, Riki has developed a unique voice as an artist: honest, raw, and rich in feeling. On stage, Riki is joined by two exceptional musicians: Amir Mojazzer, a intuitive drummer known for his versatile grooves, dynamic energy, and impeccable feel. Amir’s drumming injects every performance with drive, fire, and precision. Lela Mai, a soulful and expressive violinist whose soaring melodies bring cinematic beauty, warmth, and depth to the trio’s sound. Together they create a distinctive and unforgettable live experience — blending rich musical textures with heartfelt emotion, uplifting rhythms, and virtuoso musicianship. Whether performing in intimate acoustic settings or on larger stages, Riki Buckingham and his ensemble bring passion, originality, and artistry to every performance. If you’re looking for a professional live act that bridges genres, uplifts audiences, and leaves a lasting impression, Riki Buckingham and his band offer a truly captivating experience.

Riki Buckingham's Avalon Band's Reviews

"Riki has a delicate and vulnerable sensibility that he utilizes every time he approaches collaborating on a new musical piece with either the 7th Sense or with MILE. This gives each new song a unique value that really touches if not reprograms the human heart and that is incredibly rare in my book. As a 26 year veteran of the music industry I know quality talent when I see it or more importantly feel it. So If someone wants to really connect with a more liberated sense of self expression that6 music affords as a powerful language then you can't go passed working with Riki Buckingham"
