Rijah shapes layers of luminous harmony, uplifting vulnerability through her candid lyrics. She fuses the soul of her hometown, Jersey City, with the jazz of Manhattan, sculpting a vivid self portrait that reflects themes of perseverance, growth, and human nature.

With an innovative approach to R&B, her songs reflect the bridge between youth and adulthood. the only one i know EP, released in 2022, is an encapsulation of the first chapter of Rijah’s artistry as she found her voice, combining her love for music production and songwriting. Through the exploration of herself and the world around her, Rijah’s upcoming project, Motion Pictures, emerged.

In 2023, Rijah was featured in an NPR Tiny Desk Top Shelf episode. Acclaimed R&B singer-songwriter Baby Rose selected her entry as one of her favorites in the NPR Tiny Desk Contest, with fellow judge Sudan Archives praising Rijah’s “amazing” and “unique voice.” Since then, she has experimented with blending the intricacies of jazz with the lyrical and melodic sensibilities of her musical inspirations, weaving a tapestry that tells her story.
