Career

In 2021, he began occasionally uploading remixes of well-known songs to various platforms. Among other things, he remixed "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes and "Let Me Love You" by Mario as deep house tracks. [1] [2]

In 2023, Cyril created a remix of the song "Stumblin' In", originally performed by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro. The song went viral on TikTok. Among other things, the players from Bayern Munich used the song for a TikTok video. [3] The song then also reached the charts in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Shortly afterwards, a remix of Disturbed's cover of the Simon & Garfunkel song "The Sound of Silence" was released, which also made the charts. [2]

Personal life

Riley grew up around Lake Cargelligo in central New South Wales. He has First Nations heritage. He lived in Townsville for a short time in his teens. He can play guitar, piano and drums and began producing music in his late teens. [4]

Reflecting on his early adulthood, Riley told The Music in 2024: "I went through a period of being homeless and a drug addict and whatnot, I went back home and I started working on the farm and did some fencing and cattle work and mustering. [But] I knew that wasn't for me because I was still wanting to produce music." [4]

Riley was accepted into Charles Darwin University and relocated to Darwin where he began DJing. [4] As of 2024, Riley still lives in Darwin with his girlfriend and son. [2]
