Riishi Von Rex

Riishi Von Rex is a bewitching young singer- songwriter and guitarist from Ottawa. Defying classical genre definition with a unique soulful sound (and delighting music aficionados in doing so), Riishi’s fierce voice and sincere, intelligent song-writing are enchanting listeners from a huge range of musical backgrounds and tastes.
 

Currently working with jazz drummer Michel Delage, Riishi is preparing to release an EP later this year. The unusual pairing of Riishi's story-oriented songwriting and Michel's theatrical approach to percussion creates an almost visual musical experience in which the instruments and artists take turns playing characters and roles, reaching as far as to be waves crashing against the side of a boat or a flock of birds gathering on a rooftop.
