ABOUT RIO
Hi everyone :) My name is Rio and I’m the host of “Metal Paradise”
I was born and raised in Massachusetts, and my passion for music started when I was born. Over time, I've learned that one of the best things about music is when you’re able to share the experience with others. When I listen to music, I try to always keep my mind open. You learn so much more that way. It leads to new discoveries, new sounds, and sometimes you’ll end up re-listening to something and enjoying it after all!
“Metal Paradise” is the break from gruesome everyday life to listen to some good music and talk about all things RockCastRadio, Indianapolis, and simple pleasures to ease our minds. I hope you all enjoy being here as much as I do <3
