Hi! Call me Rhiow (pronunced ree - ow). I'm a 40-something software developer by trade. I spend most of my time on twitch helping out and supporting my friends in the music community, but I do stream myself! My heavy focus is on Music, but I do also stream Gaming and very occasionally Programming.

I play for fun, but its been very rewarding learning and trying to get better over the last year, and I'm finally ready to stream some music for you guys. You can check out my [Songlist here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cs9CVGZXBygXG56sa_JY9g602zDPYXib2ixmxlHVHWI/edit#gid=0). I haven't decided any sort of structure for music streams yet. We'll figure it out as we go! ###Gear Rode NT1A Mic Shure SM58 Beta ISK Pearl Steinberg UR44 Interface Taylor 714ce Guitar Cordoba C10 Classical Guitar

[https://streamlabs.com/rhiow2](https://streamlabs.com/rhiow2) Donations are never expected, but If you feel like RioMusicBot has enhanced your experience with the great musicians here on Twitch and would like to support server space and development time, donations are appreciated. If I'm streaming music I'll play anything that I'm comfortable with for a donation. I'm not comfortable trying to learn new things on stream or anything like, that, so please do understand that if you choose to donate.

Info here: [http://twitchmusic.net/2015/11/30/welcome/](http://twitchmusic.net/2015/11/30/welcome/) I'm the developer of RioMusicBot, a bot designed specifically to help streamers in Twitch's great music section. I may stream development of the bot from time to time in Twitch's programming section. ###About RioMusicBot Client Language - C# using Visual Studio Database - MySql Song Queue Website - PHP The Client is a Windows GUI designed using WPF that sits on the streamer's PC. It reads commands from twitch chat to accept different tiers of song requests, writing them to a remote database on my web host. The request database is then used to populate the Client UI, and to build the song queue Song Queue example at [http://twitchmusic.net/rhiow2](http://twitchmusic.net/rhiow2) Many of the things I'm doing in RioMusicBot, like some very basic UI design, I'm doing for the first time and am a total noob. If you are a music streamer interested in using RioMusicBot, contact me via twitch message, I'd love to talk to you!

Additionally, thanks to [castorr91](https://twitch.tv/castorr91) for the stream overlay, panels, and bot logo! Finally, [Etcetera_nzl](https://twitch.tv/Etcetera_nzl) commissioned my current emotes for me as a lovely surprise, and he deserves a shoutout and all the love for his generosity!
