A.k.a. Rodolpho Ivan Zahler Riz Story

Artist: Riz Born on May 19, 1966, as Rodolpho Ivan Zahler, RIZ managed to gain proficiency on many instruments at an early age, including guitar, piano, percussion, bass, and most recently the cello. In 1986, at the surprising age of 19, RIZ burst on to the music scene with a ground breaking debut LP entitled SELF PORTRAIT. The album featured all original music and was written, arranged, performed, and produced by RIZ himself. The album ahs been heard on no less than 250 CMJ stations nationwide, as well as several commercial stations. The single "In the Flesh" has been the #1 requested song on many of these stations. RIZ has also scored two motion pictures for director Eric Cohen, the latest of which is entitled "Pushing the Extremes" and will be featured as an HBO special. Along with these two film scores, RIZ is also busy composing numerous pieces of slassical music, and has begun work on his first novel, "Veil of Confessioin." Despite all these projects, RIZ has found time to compose three albums worth of new material. RIZ is currently gaining exposure with frequent live appearances on the West coast, and is planning a mini-tour of California. With a finished product in hand, and sufficient material for an additional three albums, RIZ is actively seeking major label distribution and/or a recording contract. ..... Riz Story of the band "Anyone" has been abusing Wikipedia to try to shave ten years off his age. He produced a somewhat interesting album at age 19 called "Self Portrait" as Riz (an acronym for his birth name Rodolpho Ivan Zahler), and has since been pretending that it was recorded when he was a "child". Apparently his contact with the porn industry has eaten away any sense of shame. Chris DeVoe, Jun 15, 2015
