BIO
American songwriter, piano virtuoso, producer, and composer Rhyuhn (ri-un) (born May 5, 2006) is All For Culture — an artist devoted to pushing boundaries and bridging worlds. Hailed by NPR as “both an extraordinary pianist and a composer,” Green began his lifelong devotion to music at the age of two and has since captivated audiences worldwide with his distinctive artistry and unmistakable originality.
His award-winning music - praised by NPR for its “wealth of hummable tunes” and by CBS for “wowing audiences” - has been featured by NPR’s Tiny Desk, the Philadelphia Orchestra, WRTI, The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center, and the Curtis Institute of Music. With composition, producer, and pianist credits in every style of music from pop, to jazz, to classical, to R&B and alternative, Rhyuhn has cemented his reputation as a versatile artist and one of the youngest Recording Academy/GRAMMY® Members.
At just nine years old, Rhyuhn opened for some of the biggest names in rock and heavy metal. At Rock Allegiance 2015, he performed ahead of Korn, Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Bring Me the Horizon, Godsmack, Papa Roach, and others. He later opened Franklin Music Hall (formerly The Electric Factory) for the band Clutch, and soon after, his band Zombie Kidz made their New York debut at Manhattan’s legendary The Bitter End.
At the same time, he began private piano studies at the Curtis Institute of Music under GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist Michelle Cann. He went on to make his Carnegie Hall debut at age 12 as a winner of the Crescendo International Competition.
Rhyuhn later joined Philadelphia’s Marian Anderson Young Artist Program and studied composition with Harvard Rieman and Bakatel Fellow William “Bill” Dougherty, while also working in the jazz tradition with Ruth Naomi Floyd and Jamaaladeen Tacuma. His works have since been performed by the Philadelphia Ballet, Manhattan Brass Quintet, Musicians of the Juilliard School and Curtis Institute, and the Abington Symphony, among others. Currently, he is under David Ludwig and Valerie Coleman at The Juilliard School, where he is a proud recipient of a Kovner Fellowship and frequent collaborator with the Juilliard Jazz department led by Wynton Marsalis. Through this connection, he formed the “Rhyuhn Green Trio” to perform at Philadelphia’s Notsolatin (“The Tiny Desk of South Philly”). In October 2025, Rhyuhn performed in the Dear New York exhibition, performing under the celestial ceiling of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse.
When Rhyuhn steps onstage, the room falls into a charged stillness before a single note is played. Beyond the music, he is celebrated for his cultural and fashion impact, lauded by NPR as “sartorially resplendent”, and is recognizable for his signature black poncho capes. His artistry, style, and stage presence are inseparable. He performed at the 2025 New York Fashion Week VIP Kickoff at the Canvas’ Oculus Location.
A highly decorated young composer and performer, Rhyuhn has held fellowships and residincies with NPR’s From the Top, Play On Philly!, The Juilliard School, and the Philadelphia Ballet.
He holds awards from Crescendo International Competition, NPR’s From the Top, the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Play On Philly!, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Marian Anderson Young Artist Program, the Juilliard School, and more.
He has been featured on NPR’s From the Top, the Black Orchestral Network’s Black Music Seen, 6abc Philadelphia, the Teen World of Arts Magazine and more. He is the inaugural alumni of the Marian Anderson Young Artist Program. His mentors and advisors have included Jon Batiste, David Serkin Ludwig, Valerie Coleman, William Dougherty, Michelle Cann, and Anna Meyer.
