RiaSoul is influenced by Dylan, Janis Joplin,

Dave Mathews Band, Elliott Smith, Tom Waits

and many other soulful artists. 

RiaSoul or Andrea Velasco Deasy is a singer/song writer born in Anchorage, Alaska of Colombian immigrants. 

In the Colombian culture music plays a central role as she was influenced early on by her grandfather who played concert classical guitar.  At first, playing with friends in college dorm rooms, bedroom four-track recordings, then open stages at Ohio University in Athens Ohio--a move to Columbus OH brought her on the open mic scene as she has been playing at local venues coordinated by Multifestival/MAgency. See performances link for RiaSoul upcoming venue information.
