Riad

Riad Maghni is an Italian-Moroccan artist blending Britpop, indie rock, vintage jazz influences and cinematic melancholy into a sound that feels both classic and modern. Born in Italy with roots in Rabat, Morocco, he grew up surrounded by different cultures, shaping a musical identity driven by emotion, atmosphere and storytelling. With a warm, deep voice and a raw songwriting style built around acoustic guitar, Riad creates songs that balance vulnerability with attitude. Inspired by artists such as Oasis, The Verve, Radiohead, The Smiths and modern alternative pop, his music mixes intimate lyrics, dreamy textures and powerful choruses. Beyond singing and songwriting, Riad is also involved in music production, building his own sonic world through Ableton and live instrumentation. His aesthetic draws from vintage rock culture, leather jackets, flared trousers and timeless stage presence combining elegance, rebellion and romanticism. Currently based in Italy and aiming toward an international career, Riad Maghni represents a new generation of artists influenced by both classic British music and contemporary alternative sounds.
