RIJ. (GB)

RIJ. is a music artist DJ and Founder of Naughty Parrot.

With tracks recently spun on BBC Radio 1, championed by Jaguar on BBC Introducing Dance, Jess Iszatt on BBC Introducing London, and supported by Jasmine Takhar on BBC Asian Network, his sound is shaped by London's underground garage and bass nights and warmed up by time spent playing in Ibiza and his residency on Ibiza Club Radio.

He shared line ups with heavyweights including Basement Jaxx, Hot Since 82, Melon Bomb, Horse Meat Disco, Eats Everything, Richie Ahmed, Paul Woolford as part of his residency at 528 Ibiza.

His goal is to bring communities with him on the journey. His DJ sets are high-octane and infectious, spanning disco, funk, house, garage, and everything in between. From Thailand’s Full Moon Party to UK festivals, Ibiza villas, and boat parties, he brings energy to the dancefloor.

Through Naughty Parrot, Rij is building a music culture brand centred on partying with balance. It brings together sold-out events in London, Bristol and Manchester, all designed to create spaces where people feel free to be themselves. The Nest is Naughty Parrot's community of 2,000+ DJs and artists. Its podcast, Naughty Parrot Radio, features conversations with figures from across dance music on how to party hard and still look after yourself.
