Biography

There are at least three artists called Riki.

1. Riki is a Los Angeles, CA, United States-based synthpop project, launched by Niff Nawor (formerly of Bay Area 'death rock' outfit, Crimson Scarlet) in 2017. Riki released the Hot City cassette EP (2018) and two full-length albums, Riki (2020) and Gold (2021). Riki's music has drawn comparisons to late 1980s industrial, the Neue Deutsch Welle, classic Italo disco and edgy synth pop.

2. Riki (born as Riccardo Marcuzzo on 4 February 1992) is an Italian Pop singer and songwriter who rose to fame after finishing as runner-up on the sixteen season of the Italian talent show, 'Amici di Maria De Filippi'. During his participation he signed a deal with Sony Music Italy. His eponymous déiut EP (2017) went to #1 on the Italian album chart and was certified gold. The single 'Perdo le parole' peaked at #11 on Italy's FIMI Singles Chart. Riki's fill-length début album, Mania was released in October 2017.

3. Riki Takeuchi (???) is a Japanese actor and singer. He has appeared in many V-cinema releases and films, usually in the roles of gangsters. He is famous for his tough guy image and his over-the-top acting style which closely mirrors that of action film veteran Sonny Chiba. He belongs to and runs his own talent office, Riki Project. In 2007 Takeuchi Riki started making appearances and music videos as his supposed twin brother, Riki. The character of Riki is a flashy entertainer and singer. Read more on Last.fm.
