Sidney Riley is a songwriter and singer originally from Washington, D.C. He has been involved with music since childhood. At age 9, he learned to play the piano and discovered his passion for singing as a cast member of “Children’s Choice,” a popular children’s British television show, filmed in the Middle East. Later, he started an a cappella group and began writing original music and had the opportunity to sing at the Kennedy Center Honors with Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. His passion for music and songwriting continues today. 

His personal achievements are nothing short of miraculous. During his senior year of high school, he fell critically ill with a rare disease that had him fighting for his life in a coma for several months, overcoming a 1% chance to live. He was told he would never walk again. After many months of rehab, which included re-learning how to walk again, Sidney shocked his friends and family when he walked unassisted across the graduation stage, with the full chamber choir by his side. Shortly after, he made a full recovery, moved to New York City for college, and graduated from Fordham University. Sidney credits his recovery in part to the role music played in his life by keeping him motivated through that difficult time and giving him a sense of purpose. 

Since then, Sidney has made music his priority. He is currently involved in several projects for himself, as well as other artists from various genres, and he is always working to collaborate and expand upon his portfolio.
 
 We had the amazing opportunity to sit down and get to know Sidney Riley better, and we cannot wait to share his amazing story of perseverance, strength, and hope. Riley is a storyteller whose music feels both relatable and whimsical while it has you hitting repeat as you dance around the kitchen daydreaming about your next big move. Sidney Riley's music, such as "Villian" and "Exposure" are available everywhere now, and Riley can be followed on Instagram @IamSidneyRiley.

Singer-songwriter, North Carolina native, and member of The Native American Lumbee tribe, Roger Dale, has spent the last eight years as a civil rights attorney in Washington, D.C. . On the day of January 6, 2021, Dale sat and watched the news in horror as the Capitol was stormed only a few miles from his home.
"One World, One Love" is a song that Dale wrote in the middle of the night shortly after the insurrection when he could not sleep and was up thinking about how the democracy he had come to know and love was falling apart. A strong advocate for marginalized and underrepresented groups, Dale's music transcends into a powerful plea for humanity to come together, in one love, and put our differences aside.
