Sounds of Riley
Hi, I’m Riley — 33, music nerd through and through. I’ve been obsessed with sound since I was a kid. Picked up the bass when I was ten, and from there it never really stopped. Music’s been the thing that’s shaped pretty much everything I do. That’s why I want to start curating: to share those discoveries and give upcoming artists a bit more of the spotlight they deserve. There’s so much great music that slips under the radar, and I want to give some of those tracks a bit more attention. I’ve spent years digging through different genres, going to small shows, and sharing the songs that move me — not as a critic, but as someone who just really cares about music. What I bring is a genuine ear for what feels real. I’m not chasing trends or perfect production — I’m drawn to songs with heart, groove, and a story behind them. I’ll always listen with an open mind, and when I can, I’ll share honest feedback from both a musician’s and listener’s point of view. At the end of the day, I just want to help artists get heard and connect their music with people who’ll really get it.

Apologies, I'll be declining for now. This came off a bit too fast-paced and leaning towards pop for my taste. Still, love the EDM-coded production you had on this! Best wishes on this track.
3 weeks ago · Open threadHey there! Thank for sharing your track with me. However, I think I'll have to decline your submission for now, as I think this track is a bit too resonant in terms of processing for each aspect. Maybe giving more emphasis to the cohesion of each elements can bring more quality to this one thank you for sharing this on...
3 weeks ago · Open threadApologies, I won't be able to accept your submission for now, as I think the vocals are a bit too forward in terms of mix. I'm trying to find a bit more cohesive in terms of processing. I would still say that your track is really solid in general. Wishing you the best.
3 weeks ago · Open threadThanks for sending this track. However, I think this lacks grit, which is essential for my alt-rock playlist. So, I'll decline for now due to this. Still, I appreciate you sending this track. Best wishes

1 month ago · Open threadThe track was a bit too stiff in terms of vocal performance, and the chorus didn't feel big for a punk track. I'll have to decline for now due to this. Still, love the tight groove you got on each instrument.
