Chris Rio is an applied Biology and Biotechnology student of Covenant University, Ota, Ogun state, Nigeria. He is a songwriter and a recording artiste. We had a little chat and this ensued: Brief History : Loved singing even as a child, greatest influences growing up were Ron Kenoly, Usher & Michael Jackson. Eventually took interest in music as a profession in 2010, specifically September, when I started creating melodies in my mind and writing songs. I wrote over 40 songs in the 3 months following, presently I’ve lost count. Currently learning how to play the piano (watch this space). Stats : I began recording songs in August 2012, where I worked with L37 (a credited producer on MI’s new “Chairman” album) on two songs, “So Good (Ft Dvyne)” & “Praise You 4eva”, genres R&B and Afro pop respectively. Both songs were well received by different audiences with varied preferences. In 2013, I was featured on the “Forgiven Mixtape” by Ojay on the title song, Forgiven.
