Riley's journey in music began in the underground scenes of punk and hardcore, where he honed his craft and developed a voice that would later carry him through eight years of relentless touring with the metal band, Righteous Vendetta. This diverse musical background has shaped his unique sound—melding the intensity of his early days with the soulful storytelling of Americana.

Now stepping into his own as a solo artist, Riley's songs speak to the human condition, offering solace and understanding to those facing their own struggles.

With a heart for reaching others, Riley's ultimate goal is to connect with listeners on a deep level, using his music as a bridge to share stories of pain, hope, and redemption.

Pop Rock, singer-songwriter, and producer Brooks Barry (Brooks The Boy) is all about well-crafted, thought-provoking lyrics, unforgettable melodies, and instrumentation that drives the meaning to even greater depths. He is known for his honest vulnerability, reaching emotions we often feel but don't know how to express. BTB writes from the heart while expressing common themes that are relatable to the masses. In early 2024, he quickly gained attention from Apple Music, landing multiple placements for each release on New In Alternative & New In Rock playlists, paving the way for his music to connect with others globally. BTB is here to present a space where no matter what it is you're going through, like a friend, you always have somewhere you can go to be heard and understood. And as he likes to say "Writing songs to help find a home for your feelings."
