Rio Romeo

A 23-year-old self-described "non-binary butch lesbian" who works as an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, Rio Romeo writes songs based on true events. Storytelling and theatricality are part of Rio's background, and Rio started playing the piano at age 17 and eventually got an acoustic piano in the summer of 2020. An internet sensation, Rio creates content about the day-to-day of their life as well as bigger issues such as discrimination in medicine against LGBTQ+ people and queer activism. Rio performs tonight at 7 at Mahall's 20 Lanes in Lakewood.
