Rio Romeo's October 2025 tour tickets are still available! Cities are selling out, so don't wait to grab your tickets. // Rio Romeo is a butch, gender-nonconforming singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist known for turning raw vulnerability into theatrical, piano-driven alt-pop. Their music feels like a diary cracked open under stage lights—honest, emotional, and unafraid.
They first connected with fans in 2020 after posting a snippet of <a href="spotify:track:7i5ymzlXUivT6GNVpdfFuR" data-name="Butch 4 Butch">Butch 4 Butch</a> , a song that quickly resonated online. Before it could be finished, Rio was in a skateboarding accident that left them with a brain and hip injury, delaying their ability to work. In response, their fanbase crowdfunded the gear needed to finish the song—an act of love and loyalty that Rio says made their career possible.
That same connection carried over to <a href="spotify:track:0EF1EE8zusg3Y869e56JFd" data-name="Nothing's New">Nothing's New</a>, a track recorded off their breakout EP <a href="spotify:album:3fIxJzinc2MADbgfkLrmYY" data-name="Good God!">Good God!</a>, recorded in a beaten down garage that went viral, earned RIAA platinum certifications, and landed them on the Billboard charts.
Romeo's music was born out of a conservative Christian upbringing and the search for a sense of self through storytelling. Rio’s songs are a lifeline—for themselves, and for others. Their work speaks to those navigating queerness, grief, healing, and joy.
Their music lives somewhere between the glow of the stage and the quiet of a diary—built to be felt, and meant to be shared.
