The Project “Ria Kisser”

The first single “The Sun Is Getting Colourblind” marks the beginning of the Alternative Rock music project, launching in February 2025.
Originally conceived as a solo act in Berlin, it has since evolved into a full band featuring drums, bass, guitar (acoustic and electric), and saxophone. Following her recent release — a remix with producer Cay Taylan — the next single will lead into a full EP, scheduled for release in November during the global campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.”

Motivation

Songwriting began as a personal outlet — a way to process complex emotions early on in life. Over time, it became more than that: a way to bring difficult truths to light, to create visibility for hidden realities, and to open up spaces for conversation, reflection, and collective imagination.

Shaped by her background in activism and social work, Ria’s songs are driven by a clear perspective and emotional honesty. At the same time, she strives for musical depth and cohesion, always aiming to create a sound that’s both thoughtful and immersive.

About Ria

She's a veracious, a bit chaotic and whole-hearted musician, composer, singer. A voice that might touch your soul with a combination of powerful, raw sounds and sensitive tones. Ria is willing to make space for the unsaid and communicate through her music - to inflame new thoughts with an activist approach, discuss social injustice. Her music has touches of the 80s and 90s, moved with the times. A mixture of Alternative Rock and Indie,  but also folky sounds might reach your ear. While her lyrics usually involve a good portion of critical views towards societal norms she wants to stay curious - also within music.
