About Rya

RnB tones straight out of London, suited and booted, always ready to put on a show 🎤🎸🎷🎺
Singer
London
Public liability insurance of ÂŁ5 million

Rya B is the perfect performer for those who love both old skool and new skool RnB vibes. Rya (pronounced: rye-ah) started playing before he hit his teens, coming from a household that was deeply immersed in the jazz and garage scene. Since then Rya has developed his musical abilities to the point where he can proudly say he’s a multiinstrumentalist, able to switch between drums, bass, guitar, piano, and vocals. Rya has an original project, which has achieved 70,000+ streams across 100 countries on Spotify. Rya can often be found performing around London as a solo performer at many venues including the famous Notting Hill Arts Club. Rya has even been on the BBC Introducing stage, and receives regular radio play for his original project. His inspirations come from artists like Anderson .Paak, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. Rya has a setlist that he is well-versed in, and performs to a T every time. You’re also welcome to request three additional songs, which Rya will learn for you, which means every performance has a bespoke element to it. Rya's strengths lie in being well-rehearsed and truly loving what he does. His passion is clear when he performs - not only does he fully give himself to the music, he gets down to it too and brings his whole audience with him in his groove. Rya performs vocals with either an acoustic or electric guitar and can add backing tracks if required. The acoustic set works for smaller spaces for a more stripped back performance, whereas the electric set is perfect for larger rooms, and those who are really wanting to maximise the impact of their event! Clients love Rya B's performances, with gushing reviews like “you literally made the day”. He really has put in the work over the years, so you can rest assured that you’ve got a top class musician performing for you on your night. Rya attends each event fully briefed and with a PA and lighting system so that he is fully self-contained, which makes booking the entertainment as simple as clicking the 'Book' button!

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes! I've got 30 songs you can pick from.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, all PA equipment is included in your quote.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it, so please don't hesitate to ask! If there is a special song you'd like me to learn, I am more than happy to do this for you, free of charge. For every additional 'off-the-menu' song there is a fee of ÂŁ50 to take into account rehearsal times etc.
