From Rio with sweat.
CALL ME RIO is not just music, it's a movement.
A beat you can dance to, a body you can worship, a freedom you can taste.
Welcome to my world.

The latest album, 'Chaos & Virtue' is out NOW! 

Hailing from the vibrant and eclectic music scene of Leeds, UK, Rooke emerges as an artist who works across categorization. Bridging the gap between two worlds; crafting a signature sound that blends the anthemic, guitar-driven energy of pop-rock with the intricate soundscapes and synthetic pulse of electronic music. Rooke delivers meaningful pop—songs built on sharp, introspective lyricism and a genuine desire to connect. These are tracks that pack an emotional punch, pairing radio-ready hooks with themes that resonate long after the music stops.
It's the kind of music designed for both headphones-on, late-night reflection and massive, hands-in-the-air singalongs.

From the beaches of Rio to the dancefloors of the world.
I’m RIO — body, beat and fire.
A queer voice wrapped in funk, pop and pure sweat.
Versatile, free, raw, and loud.
If you’re looking for heart, heat, and attitude…
Call me RIO.
