Beyond The Spotlights spent the afternoon with Riot Child, the Los Angeles-based alternative pop-rockers. The duo made a big splash in 2017 with their debut album, Made For Another Time. The group consists of Amanda and Alice, two accomplished and highly artistic young women from Stockholm, Sweden.

From a young age, both showed promise in music, video, and art. With both of their talents combined, Riot Child is the culmination of their skills with vocals, drums, keys, and visual art. They don’t believe in changing their art to reflect external pressures, as both say their best piece of advice for anyone is “to be themselves”. They have followed this advice thus far, and it’s helped them achieve their dreams. Just last year, the group embarked on their first tour ever across Europe. While touring as a new band can be stressful for many young musicians, it hasn’t phased the two artists at all.

When asked about the tour, they said that they loved every second of it. Both said that being able to perform in front of new people was a dream come true, and every night held a unique opportunity for them to experience a new place. In fact, Amanda and Alice both cite their European tour as their greatest life accomplishment so far.

 There are no signs of this dynamic duo slowing down in the foreseeable future as they are currently working on their follow up album and are preparing for their US tour, which will start in September of 2018.
