He now has over 25 years of experience under his belt and has shared the stage with legendary reggae and dancehall artists such as Shaggy, Sean Paul, Shabba Ranks, Soca Queen Alison Hinds, Reggae Rebel Sizzla, smooth crooner Sanchez, and Scrunta.
Placing Bob Marley at the top of his music luminaries, Riley wishes to leave behind such a legacy that will be talked of for generations to come.
