Dance Up-And-Comer of the Month Riordon Parlayed a Job in Influencer Marketing Into a Fast-Rising DJ Career

Billboard · 5 hours ago

Riordon, a UK DJ and producer, has built a rapidly growing dance-music career by combining self-taught production skills with a strong understanding of TikTok and online promotion. His trajectory took him from an unofficial Coachella after-party booking in 2023 to appearances at the festival itself in 2025, reflecting his increasing profile within the electronic music scene.

Raised on England’s South Coast, Riordon initially pursued acting before the pandemic led him to focus on making music at home. While working for an influencer marketing company, he studied how songs gained traction on TikTok, then left the job in February 2022 to pursue music full-time; he has since signed to Darkroom Records, achieved a Beatport number one and is preparing releases including “Friction”, a collaboration with Locky.

  • Riordon turned social-media expertise into a fast-rising DJ career.
  • He progressed from Coachella after-parties to the festival’s official stages.
  • The producer is signed to Darkroom Records and releasing new music.
