In a peaceful town in Belgium, Aqua Riyaz’s musical journey began even before he could speak his first word. With a natural gift for singing, he was already a true sensation as a child, albeit a shy one.

Aqua Riyaz spent his days singing and playing piano in his bedroom, until his mother decided to enroll him in The Voice Kids 2020, so the world could also experience his vocal talent. The moment the spotlight hit him and the music started playing, his shyness seemed to melt away like snow in the sun. With his performance of “Lovely” by Billie Eilish, Aqua Riyaz transformed on stage into a fearless force, a shining star who captured the hearts of the audience. His blind audition went viral and has already amassed over 62 million views on YouTube.

Today, Aqua Riyaz continues to make music, turning his emotions and experiences into powerful songs. His latest release, Pinocchio, dives into the feeling of pretending to be someone else just to fit in, something we all find ourselves doing from time to time. The track highlights both his evolving sound and his growing honesty as an artist.

With his debut EP on the way and live shows already on the calendar, Aqua Riyaz is just getting started. Stay tuned, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next. 🦢
