RIO WAS FIRST RECOGNIZED AS A CHILD PRODIGY AT THE AGE OF FIVE WHEN HE STARTED PLAYING THE PIANO AND THE DRUMS AT HIS CHURCH. AS HE GOT OLDER HIS EAR FOR MUSIC GREW BROADER AND THIS IS WHEN HE REALIZED THAT THE HIP HOP CULTURE IS WHAT HE WANTED TO BE A PART OF. BY THE MID-NINETY'S RIO FOUND HIMSELF IN THE STUDIO WITH THE LIKES OF BENZINO, QUEEN PEN, BLACKSTREET AND SUPER PRODUCER/MENTOR TEDDY RILEY WHOM RIO GIVES THE CREDIT FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE OF HOW IMPORTANT WORK ETHIC IS IN THIS BUSINESS.
