THE RIOPY PODCAST
TUNE YOUR MIND

THE RIOPY PODCAST – TUNE YOUR MIND features Jean-Philippe RIOPY, a world renowned composer, performer, and cinematic modern-classical pianist.

Across this podcast series, we’ll talk about creativity, resilience, mental health, using music as a tool for healing and focus and trace RIOPY’s extraordinary journeys. As a Steinway & Sons artist, he is a member of the world’s most revered pianists. But while his music exudes calm, clarity, and cinematic beauty, his story begins in a very different place. Born in rural France, RIOPY grew up in a repressive cult environment, isolated from the outside world. He found escape in sound. With no formal training and no access to scores, he began composing instinctively, by ear.

And now, RIOPY hosts this exclusive podcast series to share the story behind the music, and the philosophies that shape his art

And if you’re new to his music, there’ll be all kinds of tasters on the way. This is the story – and the sound – of RIOPY.
