EP21: RIOPY

On today’s SoundPower episode we are excited to have Jean-Philippe Rio-Py, known professionally as RIOPY, a French-British pianist and composer whose music bridges contemporary classical, cinematic and wellness worlds. Riopy’s work has spanned film trailers, documentaries and major advertising campaigns. In 2017 he signed with Warner Classics and released his debut album RIOPY, followed by Tree of Light, Bliss, and Thrive — the former reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard Classical charts and earning widespread attention. His sound, often described as emotionally immersive and meditative, has found millions of listeners worldwide and led to large-scale concerts across Europe, North America and Asia. Beyond concert halls, RIOPY has explored music’s role in wellness and mental health, integrating meditation-focused compositions, alternative tuning like 432 Hz and collaborations with platforms like Peloton and Calm. He has also worked with artists such as Lana Del Rey and serves as a music ambassador for educational initiatives. Through both high-profile collaborations and introspective solo works, RIOPY continues to champion music as a tool for emotional connection, healing and human resilience.
