Rio Wiley Stinger is a 26 year old, Arizona-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, known for his solo alt-pop project Rio Wiley (stylized rio wiley). Beginning in his early childhood, Rio had an affinity towards singing, performing, and composing music.

Rio’s eclectic, hip-hop/rock genre-bending music and confessional lyric style invites one to an intimate listening experience. Rio Wiley has released four EPs (‘young ghost’, ‘less low’, ‘summer over’, & ‘HUSTLR EP’), two full lengths (‘RIVER’ & ‘I HATE THE INTERNET’), and a collection of hard-hitting singles.
