Many artists attempt at some point to take the past, drag it into the present, and rip it apart so they can break free of it for the future. In a time when songs are so often written by committee, Sunny Riot’s music is a taste of authenticity, grit and stark personal narrative, crafted straight from his experience and motivation.
