Riki is a natural improviser; no two gigs are the same! He plays everything with feeling and the energy of the moment !
Riki loves to jam and create something new from the mixture of peoples’ abilities – he tends to bring the best out in other musicians, giving them space and energy to express. He has an impressive back-catalogue of collaborations/jams with other musicians and solo projects. His solo work has included simple and beautifully melodic pieces, through to full band-style pieces where he has recorded all the instruments himself. Please note though that gigs he does while travelling are solo acoustic unless you can provide other musicians for him to work with! 🙂
