Hotly-tipped British/American producer and artist Rider set to release her debut singlePRESS RELEASE: AUGUST 2017 Sit back and enjoy the Rider She has a voice you may have heard dozens of times without even realising - but now Rider is going to take you on a journey of a lifetime as she releases her debut single A Little Light on September 15th. The hotly-tipped UK-raised, US-born artist captures the essence of her talent with the summery vibe of her first release in her own right. Rider's dazzling abilities have probably filled your ears more times than you will ever know with appearences on jingles for dozens of radio stations including Europe's biggest station BBC Radio 2, Radio 1, regional stations and many more around the world. But now she is stepping into the spotlight to show exactly what she can do. Debut release A Little Light is a perfect example of her exuberant dreamy pop and both the track and its video are a distillation of her refreshing approach to sexuality, albeit the story of a painful episode in her life. She explains: "I was in the middle of a hard break-up with a guy who I had been with for years but I had also fallen in love with a girl who I had been seeing for a while - even though she lived in America. Every time she came to visit we would act as if we were together. Eventually I met another guy who completely changed my life! We started to hang out a lot and he just made me feel better about everything! He knew about this other girl and my hard breakup with my boyfriend and respected me but we were both falling in love. It was so hard for everyone involved. So even though it was a real transition time in my life he was literally my little light that helped me get through the emotional mess I was in." A British / American multi-instrumentalist who writes, performs and produces all her own tracks, Rider spent her early years in Pennsylvania before moving with her family to various locations around the UK as she grew up, including Ripon, Repton, St David's, Cheltenham, Walton on Thames and went on to study in Liverpool at Sir Paul McCartney's LIPA. Young, cool and sassy, Rider is an eternal optimist and her chosen name is an expression of her outlook. She says:"The name Rider to me means speed, forever moving, riding life, excitement, coasting along. It has a positive feeling about it and I'm a glass-half-full kinda girl. Life's good." And this dynamic, on-the-go approach to life - which takes in a love of skydiving, snowboarding, climbing trees and plunging into the sea - is accompanied by a refusal to be bound by convention: "I don't like abiding to rules most of the time. I'm a free spirit and I hate taking the obvious path - both in a physical sense and metaphorically too." In addition to her work on radio jingles, Rider's music has features in an array of TV shows including ITV's Loose Women and Australia's Location Location Location. She will soon be showcasing her gifts further with a select number of live shows in London at:
A Little Light by Rider is released Septmber 15 on Sapien Records. For more information on Rider: Listen to A Little Light: Watch live session video: For more information, images or to request an interview contact: Watch the full length music video below:
