Riva Taylor | York

Intimate seated show.

Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Riva Taylor, London-born, has never been one to sit still creatively. From her early career as a powerhouse vocalist on major stages to her forays into pop, theatre, and cinematic songwriting, she’s always followed her ear rather than the market. With her latest EP, Keeping It Together, Taylor returns with her most vibrant and genre-defying work to date: a project that intertwines timeless pop melody with sultry Latin grooves and cinematic jazz textures.

Riva’s musical journey began at an extraordinary young age. Signing to a major label at just 12 years old, she became the youngest artist to ever secure a record deal with EMI. Since then, she has performed for King Charles, graced the BAFTAs, and appeared on global television. Even R&B icon Usher has praised her “great voice.”

The release of her latest EP in Autumn 2025 follows an exciting period for Riva, including a promotional tour across Latin America, a captivating appearance on Mexico’s national TV show Sale el Sol, a sold-out performance at Foro Indy Rocks Festival, and the success of her top-20 charting single, Cubano. Her music has received strong support from BBC Radio 1 and 2, as well as Sir Elton John, who featured her on his Apple Music Beats 1 show, telling listeners he “loved it.”
