Riley Biederer is a 15 year old singer/songwriter from Cumming GA and is a rising sophomore at West Forsyth High School.  In less than 15 months, she has attracted the attention of music industry professionals in Nashville and Atlanta. She recently completed her first demo recording with Matt Still, a Grammy winning producer who has worked with Elton John, Rod Stewart, Outcast, BB King, Fat’s Domino, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Hornsby and many others.  Former Creative Directors from EMI and Universal (Bruce Burch and Scott Gunter) have both indicated she has a special talent and expect big things from her.  Producers of major artists have indicated she’s the total package, with strong songwriting ability, a great voice, a fearless stage presence and a “look” that keeps people coming back for more.  In April she met personally with Elton John and his Manager Johnny Barbis and they have taken her under their wing and are opening doors for her in Atlanta and Nashville and making noise about signing her to a management agreement with Rocket Music.  At age 15, Riley has already made 6 trips to Nashville, where she has co-written with prominent writers that include Brett James, Odie Blackmon, D Scott Miller, Sonny LeMaire,  Jen Schott and Danny Orton, and Hall of Fame Songwriter Bob Dipiero. In Nashville she was asked to play a full set at Ri-Chards and has performed at the Commodore, Hotel Indigo, Douglas Corner and The Bluebird Café.  She was invited into the round at the Bluebird Café  in June for CMA Music Festival week with Bob Dipiero, Tony Mullins, Big Al Anderson and Kix Brooks, where she performed two songs she had written with Bob Dipiero earlier in the week to a standing room only audience. 
Riley plays both acoustic guitar and piano and writes songs that belie her age. A prolific singer songwriter who produces a new song every 4-5 days, Riley has recorded over 30 original songs.  In the last year Riley has opened for Von Grey at the Crimson Moon in Dahlonega, sang the National Anthem at an Atlanta Hawks game, sang the opening song for the national Orange conference in front of 6000 people at the Gwinnet Arena, and been a featured artist for Northpoint Ministries regularly performing in front of 1000-2000 people.  Already a veteran performer with over 40 paid three set gigs under her belt as a solo artist, Riley is about to do her first show with a full band behind her on Aug 1 at Smith’ Olde Bar in Atlanta where Chris Cauley and several of the Northpoint Church band members will join her on stage for a set of original music.  She has performed at open mics and gigs all over North GA and has built a strong local following with middle school and high school students in North metro Atlanta.  Riley has been the featured artist of the month on www.openmicatlanta.com and has performed on the main stage at the Cumming City Fair.  She was recently nominated Teen Artist of the Year by www.Georgia-Country.com .  You can view links to her youtube channel, facebook musician’s page, twitter and reverb nation page at www.RileysMusic.com.

Riley gave up a promising future as a gymnast (where she has been a state gymnastics champion in Floor Exercise and Vault) to pursue a career in music.  When her schedule permits, Riley can usually be found one night a week at a local open mic venue and typically plays a set or gig once a weekend somewhere in north Georgia.
