Our story
Riley Music & Sound began with owner Shaun Riley's musical endeavors throughout his childhood, teens, and early 20s. Starting at just 3 years old, Shaun began to fiddle with his father's guitars. At the time his father, Mike Riley, played music regularly with cover bands in the Baltimore area. Throughout his childhood he would attend these band practices with his father to listen in, always playing with the soundboard.
At just 4 years old, Shaun was gifted his first drum kit and drum lessons from his father's musician friends. He began flourishing on drums, and quickly moved to other instruments, starting with bass, then guitar. On top of playing instruments he was always a vocalist, singing in every school chorus since elementary school. While performing, he took great detail in producing the processes to ensure the event was a success, even if it was just a talent show in his parents' basement with some friends.
In his teenage years, with his musical talents flourishing, he quickly began creating bands with friends, performing in multiple musicals and other forms of artistic expression. Throughout every performance Shaun found excitement in producing and running the audio and lighting systems.
Fast forward to 2013: Shaun meets the band Bond & Bentley, about to embark on a nationwide U.S. tour and in need of a ride-or-die bass player, vocalist and sound guy. Touring the country and seeing how the world works quickly educated Shaun on the rigors of bands on the road. Five years of touring brought a great understanding of a traveling live production. While touring the country, and even the US Virgin Islands, with the band, Shaun found a gap in the live production industry. Witnessing the need for the next step in audio production, Shaun formed Riley Music & Sound.
Presently Riley Music & Sound works daily in fulfilling the needs of multiple restaurants, festivals, bands, and theaters throughout the Baltimore DMV region, always exceeding the expectations of his clients with safety and quality at the forefront of his company standards.
