Now Available for Performances and Media Appearances Across America
The United States has a new cultural export—and his name is Stephen Ridley. The globally renowned pianist, composer, and viral sensation has officially received his O-1 Visa and relocated to Florida, opening a bold new chapter in his already extraordinary career.
Known for blending the emotional intensity of classical music with the raw power of rock performance, Ridley has played for royalty in Dubai, private audiences including Elon Musk, the Kardashians, and heads of state, and captivated sold-out venues across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Now, for the first time ever, Stephen Ridley is available to perform in the United States.
Coming to the U.S. is more than a move—it’s a mission. There’s a deep creative energy here, and I’m excited to bring something truly different to the American stage.

With a performance style that defies genres and leaves audiences breathless, Ridley is now accepting a limited number of U.S.-based booking requests for private concerts, luxury events, galas, and corporate gatherings. He is also open to select media interviews and appearances.
His 2025 international tour kicks off later this month in Dubai, followed by upcoming shows in Mumbai, New York, and other major cities around the globe. His U.S. relocation marks a rare opportunity for fans and organizers to experience his spellbinding performance style live on American soil.
Booking availability is extremely limited due to global tour commitments and Ridley’s growing work with Ridley Academy, his online music education platform that teaches thousands of students worldwide.
