It’s official - I’m the new bass player for Swedish melodic rockers ’RIAN’ and will return to the Malmö Melodic Festival stage for the third time.
Success in Malmö
In the most shady parts of Malmö at the location "Plan B” the first iteration of Malmö Melodic was held. A three days festival with 100% focus on AOR. And in the midst of it all, and twice, we in JD Miller take on the stage with our harder melodic metal. Giving it 100% with our heavier music and energetic stage show.
Welcome to the Band, Jonny Trobro!
We’re thrilled to welcome our new bass player, Jonny Trobro, to RIAN!
Jonny brings a rock-solid backbone to the band, boosting our rhythm section with nuance, style, and serious groove. After just a few rehearsals, it’s clear that he’s already found his own take on our songs—adding a fresh energy while staying true to the core of our sound.
A seasoned name in the melodic rock scene, Jonny’s past includes bands like JD Miller, Hydra, Find Me, First Signal, and Issa, as well as live sessions with Freestyle and Kishti Tomita. With that kind of background, we know we’re in great hands.
We’re beyond excited to have Jonny on board and can’t wait to embark on the next chapter of RIAN together.
Welcome to the family, Jonny!
This makes it the third year in a row that I play in Malmö!
