River is an Australian rapper, singer/song writer based on the Gold Coast (Queensland, Australia), who uses deep emotive lyrics, and unique word play to paint pictures and tell stories with a greater purpose. 

Over the past five years River has been a part of the folk/rap band Weather Permitting ( now known as River Movement) writing songs and combining with wonderful musicians to create out of the box songs that speak of hope and truth. As a result, this has often led River into uncharted territory when it comes to rap, due to the unique influence of this collaborative context.

Over the last few years River has also featured on a handful of musical projects and albums, all of which will be linked on this profile.

River Movement was formed in 2017, as a band with a strong collaborative vision, intent on sharing a message of hope through a unique blend of cross genre music. Their style is a combination of rap and folk music that has evolved into a full band experience that regularly includes elements of reggae, rock and funk (just to name a few). This mixture along with River Movements trade-mark live freestyles (mid set), regularly leave audiences wondering what will happen next. Based in South East Queensland (split between the Gold Coast and Brisbane), River Movement has worked hard to build a body of work that not only expresses the unique sound and style of the band, but also the vision of the movement, culminating in several single releases across the last few years and the release of their debut album “Impending Light” in 2019.
