Velvet riot
Velvet Riot is the modern soul pop project by veteran musicians Sharif Iman and Troy Welstad. Combining Ray Charles electric pianos with 808 bass and irresistible hooky guitars, they deliver modern pop sonics with nostalgic throwback elements of soul. Velvet Riot fits perfectly into an up-tempo, groove based pocket that satisfies a sense of slick confidence, happiness, and style.
