Henry Smithson, better known by his stage name Riton, is an England-based DJ and music producer who creates electro techno, house, and deep house.

Henry's first encounter with electronic music was at a Rave party held at his secondary school. He began his career in the 1990s, initially performing at underground parties and gigs before gaining fame. In 2001, he started producing electronic music under the name Riton, a French slang for his real name "Henry." He spent nearly two decades doing this before achieving major success with the hit "Rinse & Repeat," which drew significant attention in the electronic music scene.

The 2016 single, released with Nigerian singer Kah-Lo, propelled Riton's career to a peak. This club hit reached No.1 on the Shazam Dance Chart, No.6 on the Spotify Global Viral 50, and received substantial radio play upon its release.

"Fake ID," released in 2017, became his second major hit following "Rinse & Repeat," amassing over 5 million plays on Spotify alone and continuing to grow.
