Rivkala

she/her
A photograph of Rivkala. Rivkala has brown curly short hair and is sitting on the ground with a mysterious smirk painted in brown lipstick, in front of a warm orange background. She is sitting with her knees up and elbows resting on them. The perspective is distorted with a fisheye lens so her legs and feet appear larger than reality. She wears brown leather cowboy boots, dark and light brown argyle print trousers, and a sparkly brown long striped sleeve top. Her nails are painted burgundy, and she has silver rings on each finger, a beaded bangle on one wrist, a brown pendant necklace, and brown aviator sunglasses against a yellow background with small black stars.

Rivkala is an emerging Newcastle-based neo-soul artist, songwriter, singer and pianist, and an alumni of Generator NE’s First Notes programme, funded by Youth Music. Raised in Manchester on a varied diet of jazz, funk, disco, psych rock and soul, her writing is flavoured with their broad influence, characterised by catchy melodic hooks, bass-driven grooves and socially poignant lyrics.
