About this listen

Host David Oyuke sits down with 8 of the second cohort of new and emerging artists for The Launchpad 2025. In this episode, we get to know Riley James.

Riley James is an Athens, Ohio, based artist who grew up in the small town of Duncan, Ohio. They started learning the piano at 12 years old and guitar at 16 years old.

We discuss the role of theatre in honing their craft, the influence of The Beatles, Chappell Roan, and David Bowie in their style, as well as the process of working to create a sound unafraid to explore the potency of guttural music.
