Kyle Riabko and Steph McKeon

"The songs are just packed with personality…Kyle was also a joy to work with engaging with notes in a very positive way. All execs and myself would have Kyle at the top of our list for any future commissions."

Stephanie McKeon is a songwriter and composer who has been telling stories through music her entire life. She began her career as an Actor/ Singer back in her home town of Dublin, until she set off on her quest to star on the West End stage.

And that she did — performing leading roles in productions like The Commitments, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and Close To You: Bacharach Reimagined.

Stephanie played the role of Princess Anna in the West End’s Original Cast of Frozen, Disney’s hit Broadway Musical. She is known as Stephanie McKeon for her career on the stage/screen.

Kyle Riabko is a composer and songwriter who has been telling stories through music his entire life. After a childhood of honing his musicianship in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Kyle released a full length album of original music on Columbia / Aware Records at the age of 17.

He subsequently spent his teen years performing as an opening act for a wide range of artists, including BB King, James Brown, Buddy Guy, Jason Mraz, and John Mayer.

Since then, Kyle’s career has included a little bit of everything – composing, songwriting, producing, touring, acting on television/ Broadway, and creating the acclaimed West End show, Close To You: Bacharach Reimagined. Kyle’s musical arrangements for the show received the very enthusiastic support of his mentor, Burt Bacharach, who said “Kyle has done something truly unique with my music. He’s a beautiful singer and one hell of a guitar player.” 

At the root of Kyle’s colourful career lies one common denominator: A never-ending love of music and storytelling.
