The Music in 2024: "I went through a period of being homeless and a drug addict and whatnot, I went back home and I started working on the farm and did some fencing and cattle work and mustering. [But] I knew that wasn't for me because I was still wanting to produce music." Riley was accepted into

DJing. As of 2024, Riley still lives in Darwin with his girlfriend and son. ==Discography==
