Holly Riva

“The most talented female artist since Annie Lennox walked through my door.” – Bill Kimber, former Head of A&R at RCA UK. At 23, British-Australian dark pop artist Holly Riva is emerging as a bold new voice in alt-pop and club music. Her sound fuses cinematic dark pop, electronic house, and alt-dance with emotionally charged storytelling and world music instrumentation. Her 2025 single ‘So Vanilla’ spent 5 weeks on the Music Week UK Commercial Pop Club Charts, BBC Introducing’s Artist of the Week, and cemented her as one to watch. Before that, ‘Feel It Comin’ spent 3 consecutive weeks in the UK Commercial Pop Club Top 10 and in the Australian ARIA Club Charts. Now she returns with ‘Chase Like an Animal’, a genre-blending collab with iconic Indian maestro Bickram Ghosh (George Harrison & Ravi Shankar collaborator), premiering live in Kolkata.
