In January 2022, Riopy's album Tree of Light reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Classical Album chart [2] after a continuous 70 weeks in the top 10. [3]

Early life and career

Born and raised in France, Riopy is a self-taught pianist who grew up in a secular cult with his family. [4] [5] Riopy began to teach himself [6] the piano at an early age when he discovered an abandoned instrument. [7] Without access to printed scores, he began to compose music in his head. [8] His unique, rhythmically driven approach to performing his own compositions soon brought him to the attention of the piano firm Steinway & Sons who chose him to be a Young Steinway Artist [1] when he was 17 years old. [9] [10] A year later, he left his home and the cult, which did not allow music, and spent short periods in Paris and Los Angeles. [6]

Riopy arrived in London at 21 years old, where he worked at a small instruments shop for a few months. [11] There, he soon met Michael Freeman, who recognized his potential and offered him a course [12] at Oxford Brookes University. [13] In 2006, he was then discovered at Oxford where he began his training before embarking on his professional career in London. [14] In 2007, he gave one of his first concerts at Jacqueline Du Pré Building and the Holywell Music Room in Oxford. [15]

In 2010, he performed at the Royal Opera House and opened the first night re-launch for the renowned The Arts Club in Mayfair in 2011. The same year, he performed at a Gala dinner in London organized by Vanity Fair , where Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband at the time, Chris Martin, were also present. [16] [17] The singer thanked him for his performance and three weeks later, offered him his first personal piano, a Steinway & Sons. [13] Later, in 2018, he recorded his first album Riopy on the same piano. [18]

Music career

Performances

Riopy has performed at prestigious venues worldwide, including the Royal Opera House (London, UK), Steinway Hall, inside St Pancras Clock (London, UK), Salle Pleyel (Paris, France), The Arts Club (London, UK), underground venue of Chateau Marmont (Los Angeles, USA), Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (Paris, France), and Villa Reale (Milan, Italy). He has also performed at City Hall Stockholm (Stockholm, Sweden), and in Portugal, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland. [19]

Riopy also performed several times in concert halls in China. [20]

In February 2023, Riopy embarked on his first UK tour. He performed in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Canterbury, and other cities. [21]

In June 2023, the pianist-composer embarked on a US tour, with concerts in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Alexandria, Virginia. [22] [23]

On 18 November 2023 he performed at the London Jazz Festival at Queen Elizabeth Hall, [24] followed by a tour of cities in France [25] including Paris [26] and Vichy [27] [28] and a performance at the Cirque Royal in Brussels. [29]

More recently, he has worked on movie trailers for Mr Turner, Jimmy's Hall, The Sense of an Ending, A Royal Night Out, Long Walk Home. He also composed the trailer for Oscar-winning films such as The Danish Girl (film) and The Shape Of Water. [30]

His piano works have been included in documentaries broadcast on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 as well. He notably composed the original soundtracks for On The Bridge and She Wants Soul. [31] He was invited by Richard Branson to take part to his documentary The Kodiak Queen released in 2018 for the preservation of the seabed and the British Virgin Islands. [32]

Solo albums

In 2017, Riopy signed to Warner Classics with which he has been working ever since. [33] One year later, he released his first Album, “RIOPY”. “I Love You” and “Drive” were among the most popular tracks of his album, including in China. [34]

Riopy's first album was followed in 2019 by a second one, The Tree of Light. Seen as a force for positive change in the world by its composer, he comments: "It is a call to humanity to fight – not the wars outside, but to fight the wars inside us. A wake up call. If we are all kind to each other, and kind and compassionate and nice to ourselves and each other, we will have a better chance to save ourselves and the planet." [35] The album was the fifth best-selling New Age Album of 2021 in the US [36] as well as the third best-selling classical album of 2022 in the US. [37] In June 2023, 'Ukiyo' receives the Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with more than 500,000 copies sold. [38]

During the pandemic, he wrote his third album. Bliss, a work of eleven tracks, was released in late 2021.

In April 2023, Riopy released his fourth album, Thrive, through Warner Classics. [39] For this album, Riopy took inspiration from famous classical music composers such as Satie, Pachelbel, Beethoven, Fauré, Debussy and Chopin, adapting their melodies into scores of his own. [40] [41]

Collaborations

After listening to Riopy's work, the American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey contacted the composer-pianist's manager in order to use it for her new album to be released. [42] [43] In March 2023, she released her album Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd containing ‘Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing’, using ‘Flo’ from RIOPY's Album 'Tree of Light'. [44] [45] Subsequent to their collaboration, RIOPY supported Lana Del Rey's performance at BST Hyde Park in July 2023. [46] [47]

In conjunction with the release in early 2023 of his album Thrive, Riopy became an official ambassador for Restore the Music UK, a charitable organization that helps fund music education in schools in lower-income areas. RTM and Riopy's tour promoter partnered to offer free concert tickets to students and teachers who benefit from the charity’s work. [48]

Composition for advertisements

Since his debut, Riopy has composed music for labels such as Air-Edel, EMI and Warner/Chappell Music, [49] while his works have been featured in advertising campaigns by Hulu, Bentley, Samsung, Mercedes, and Giorgio Armani amongst others. [50] In 2016, he composed the music for an award-winning IKEA ad. [51] The music supervisor behind the Swedish IKEA commercial stated: "'Every Other Week' has become a bit of a commercial classic, referred to as one of the best commercials made in recent years, which Riopy was a part of." [52] In 2018, he wrote the music for a Peugeot 508 ad broadcast in France, where he is depicted driving the car himself while writing the score on screen. [53] [54] Following the campaign’s success, Warner Music released to the public the original track “Le Rêve d’une Note” in partnership with Peugeot. [55] [56]

Meditation and wellness work

Over the years, Riopy developed a keen interest in meditation and ways to improve mental health. After going through deep anxiety and depression, he found a new passion for neuroscience, specifically how brainwaves work to improve one's wellbeing. [57] [58] For example, he researched the positive effects music can have on mental health by observing the results of EKGs of his own brain waves as he listened to music. [59] He also, at fans' suggestions, tuned his piano to 432 Hertz (as opposed to the usual 440 Hertz), a frequency believed to help brain waves to relax. [60] [61]

Riopy uses various compositional techniques in pursuit of his goal to create immersive meditation music that can improve mental health and wellbeing, including using binaural beats, [62] spatial audio and other techniques.

He partnered with Peloton to create a yoga program called "Slow Flow," released in 2021. [63] His music is featured on the Calm app and the Sleep app. [42] A number of his pieces are called "Meditations," such as "Meditation 22," "MED66," "Meditation 111."

In 2023 the Mental Health Foundation commissioned him to create a piece to help people manage anxiety, resulting in "Meditation 111" (named for the NHS' 111 helpline). Announcing that release, Riopy said, "As someone who has struggled with poor mental health for most of my life, music has been a great source of solace and calm. It is not an exaggeration to say that the piano saved my life." [64] His EP "Meditation 333," released in May 2024, consisted of three tracks of music and audio tools "designed for healing and peace." [65]

Charting and streaming success

Riopy's second album The Tree of Light ranked No. 8 on the year-end 2021 Classical Albums chart [66] and fifth on the New Age Albums chart. [67] In January 2022 the album peaked at No. 1 on the Classical Albums chart. [68] As of June 2023 it had remained on that chart for more than 135 weeks. [69]

As of January 2023, when the April 2023 release of his fourth album Thrive was announced, Riopy's first three albums together had netted more than half a billion streams.[ citation needed ]

Thrive debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard New Age Albums chart, No. 5 on the Classical Albums chart, and No. 11 on the Classical Crossover chart. [69]

In June 2023, his 2019 track “Ukiyo” was certified gold by the RIAA with more than 500,000 copies sold. [69]
