Riverfish Music

Riverfish Music is an independent music company based in Cornwall, UK.  Home to Riverfish Records Ltd and Riverfish Publishing Ltd, it encompasses a boutique label, a music publishing arm, and a residential recording studio.  At its core is the work of British composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Joe Dworniak, whose decades-long career and legacy includes Latin GRAMMY-nominated productions, a long-standing role in the Brit-funk band iLEVEL, and a reputation for genre-crossing excellence that forms the creative foundation of everything we do.

Founded by Joe and his wife and creative partner, Vicky Daniel, Riverfish Music is built on a deep commitment to authenticity, craftsmanship, and collaboration.  While Joe is the heart and soul of the studio and the creative work that happens within it, Vicky provides the backbone—coordinating operations, artist relations, and the day-to-day running of the company.

Alongside our record and publishing arms, Riverfish Studio operates as a residential recording space where Joe’s production and engineering services attract a wide range of artists from across the globe.  While the majority of these artists are represented by other labels or self-releasing, they have sought out Joe’s expertise and the immersive creative environment of Riverfish Studio to bring their projects to life.

Artists who have recorded at Riverfish Studio include Nilüfer Yanya, Pau Donés (Jarabe de Palo), Kiko Veneno, Shuarma (Elefantes), David Gómez, San Dámian (Casa Rusa), Gabriela Eva, Carlos de France, Susu, Seydu, Dworniak Bone Lapsa and local bands such as Du Glas and Boundless Brothers, alongside label-affiliated acts like DEFINDE, Karin Rybar, and iLEVEL.  Many of these sessions have featured acclaimed musicians including Danny Cummings, Frank Tontoh, Glenn Nightingale, Greg Bone, Jim Watson, Phil Smith, Melvin Duffy, and Dorie Jackson—testament to the calibre of music-making that takes place at Riverfish.

At the centre of Riverfish Music is Joe Dworniak, a British composer of Irish-Polish descent. Renowned for his Latin Pop/Rock productions—including Latin GRAMMY-nominated albums—Joe is now focused on scoring for film and TV.  His cinematic compositions blend emotion, texture, and storytelling with an intuitive understanding of production honed over four decades.

Riverfish Music continues to champion distinctive voices and compelling musical storytelling—supporting both emerging and established artists with an unwavering focus on quality, artistic integrity, guided by a commitment to authenticity, craft, and collaboration.
