It was a special, once-in-a-lifetime event that has been documented in RY X’s album ‘Live at the Royal Albert Hall’. Not only was he performing in one of the most historic and dazzling venues in the world, but his tremulous voice and stark emotional songwriting was complemented by the London Contemporary Orchestra. In October 2019, Australian alternative artist RY X stepped on stage at the Royal Albert Hall and completed a lifetime ambition.
Capturing a performance in October 2019 with the London Contemporary Orchestra, Live from the Royal Albert Hall arrived in early 2021. If fared a bit better on the charts, reaching the number 11 spot in Belgium and the Top 40 in Germany and Switzerland. The following year, Cuming returned to the studio, and his second long-player, Unfurl, appeared on Infectious in early 2019. It charted just outside of the Top 40 in several European countries. After touring extensively as the vocalist for electronic act the Acid, RY X settled into his studio to work on his debut solo album, Dawn, which followed on Loma Vista and Infectious Records in 2016. The song reached as high as number 15 in France. Top 40 after it appeared in a European ad campaign for TVs. The gentle, reverb-heavy guitar sound on the EP evoked comparisons to Fleet Foxes and José Gonzalez, and lead single "Berlin" cracked the U.K. Re-emerging in 2013 under the moniker RY X, he released the EP Berlin on Stockholm-based label Dumont Dumont. He went on to tour with pop/rock heavyweights Maroon 5 and enjoyed moderate success, while working with pop star Sara Bareilles on album track "Always Remember Me." In 2010, he moved to Los Angles to pursue his music career and was eventually rewarded when Jive Records took notice and released his self-titled debut as Ry Cuming later that year. He debuted his ethereal, acoustic-electronic atmospheres and haunting, gauzy vocals in full-length form on Dawn in 2016.Ī native of coastal Angourie, New South Wales, Ry Cuming grew up admiring the likes of Pearl Jam and Jeff Buckley, and started writing his own songs at the age of 16 after hearing the latter's Grace album. A worldwide streaming success, it reached the Top 40 in the U.K. Australian singer and songwriter RY X had his commercial breakthrough with the song "Berlin" in 2013.
