Rikki Østergaard

Under the artist name O/RIOH, through her eclectic and controversial music, Rikke aims to make people move – both physically and mentally. Rikke independently started the movement WE’RE HERE, which is a database with associated playlists consisting exclusively of LGBTQIA + artists, and is a board member of the association Musikbevægelsen af 2019, an association for women and gender minorities associated with the music industry. She is also a co-founder of the anti-normative record label CECH RECORDS and often participates in debates and gives presentations on the topics of gender and sexuality. She’s a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, with a bachelor’s degree in songwriting, and carries lots of teaching experience and pedagogical work in her baggage.
