    Welcome to the Ririverse. Born in Russia and currently based in Germany, Rita is taking listeners along for the ride on Substack as she makes her first album. Her work is authentic, funny, and beautifully vulnerable. Rita first started making music during the pandemic.

For the last 5 years, she’s been creating songs, networking with others in the industry, and more recently, sharing her music story on Substack. In our conversation, we dive into her first single, KTGB, the making of it, how she overcame her fear of making music, her Substack, collaborations, and a lot more. Rita is an awesome mix of self-aware content creator meets innovative musician. Her music is just as invigorating and entertaining as her posts, so if you’re not on the Riri bandwagon yet, hop on.
