MyMusic with Graham Coath – Featuring Ria Timkin
Music makes life better, and this week on MyMusic, Graham Coath welcomes the incredibly creative Ria Timkin – artist, songwriter, and purple-powered force of nature!
Ria shares her journey from figure skating athlete to classically trained pianist, before stepping into her true identity as a genre-blending performer leading a three-piece band in Northern Ireland. They chat about her upcoming headline show at The Union Bar, Belfast on June 6th, the story behind her inspiring single "The Difference", and how her merch – from CDs to bracelets she hand-makes herself – carries a powerful message of taking small steps toward change.
Expect laughter, creativity, and a few surprising tangents (yes, there’s ice skating at Wembley Stadium in Ria’s future… maybe). Graham and Ria also launch a listener challenge: grab one of Ria’s The Difference bracelets and share a photo of yourself making a difference in your community to spread some positivity.
From navigating the realities of social media to geeking out over keyboards and stage setups, this episode is a celebration of independent music and artistic self-belief.
🎧 Listen now and join Ria’s journey – follow her on socials, get your hands on her latest merch, and if you’re in Belfast, make sure you grab your ticket for June 6th!
