BIO
Riley G is an artist from South Africa who owns the record label 'Riley G Music'.
He is a session drummer, composer, producer, teacher, keyboardist and audio engineer who is based in Durban.
Riley started playing drums at the age of 3 and was mainly inspired by his father Pravin Giandhari who is also a professional drummer. At the age of 15, Riley started playing the drums at church and with a few gospel bands. Although he has considered degrees in other fields of study, he has always been drawn back to music and therefore enrolled to study Jazz at UKZN in 2013. He currently holds a Masters in Music Degree (Summa Cum Laude) from the University of KwaZulu- Natal.
Riley has performed and collaborated with artists such as Hugh Masekela, Lu Dlamini, Neil Gonsalves, Kasinova the Don, Feya Faku, McCoy Mrubata, Lloyd Cele, Brian Simpson, Nduduzo Makhathini, Mike Del Ferro, Jan Lundgren, Burton Naidoo, Ernest Dawkins, Sibusiso Mashiloane, Carlton Whitfield, Salim Washington, Chloe Clark, Raphael Clarkson and many more.
In 2018, he won 2 awards at the SAMRO Overseas Scholarship for Composers Competition.
At the 2020 Mzansi Jazz Awards, Riley G was nominated for Best Male Jazz Artist, and his debut album titled ‘’Riley G – A Groove For The Nation’’ was nominated for Best Contemporary Jazz Album.
