bio
fred riko is a nyc–based songwriter blending global folk influences with a contemplative, modern voice.
his songs carry intimacy and expansiveness, inspired as much by quiet periods of reflection as the energy of the city around him.
performing in cafés, open-air parks, and venues across the city, fred brings an emotional honesty to each setting—crafting music that unites the space, audience, and moment.
spring cleaning
self-written, recorded, and produced, fred riko's debut album takes us on the journey of an individual discovering how to carve out a spot for themselves in an ever-evolving world.
