Collaboration is everything.
I love creating and everything that comes along with making music, but nothing makes me feel more alive than the relationships made along the way. I’m honored to be able to work with so many admirable musicians during this journey. This is a brief glimpse into the many artists I’ve loved collaborating with.

No better feeling than performing.
The stage is a second home for me. It’s a safe place where I can roll my eyes into the back of my head and forget about whatever else might be going on in my life. From long days touring on the road to locally intimate affairs, I have been blessed to share the stage with so many talented acts. This is a brief look at the many bands I’ve been in or performed with.

Share your knowledge.
I serve as rehearsal director, audition panelist, and mentor of STG’s More Music at The Moore for 20 years.
More Music @ The Moore
I performed with my high school rock band, TriNation, in the very first year of the show. Since then, I have returned in various roles within More Music. Like the show, I evolved into a more advanced skill set in providing young artists with the tools to succeed in the music industry.
More Music @ The Moore is a week long musical adventure for the PNW’s most talented emerging artists, ages 14-21. Once selected, artists receive mentorship from music industry leaders, opportunities for collaboration, professional performance experience and possible future performance opportunities. More Music @ The Moore has helped develop Seattle musicians that are now household names and continues to strive to support and connect musicians to the Seattle music community and beyond.
Don’t take my word for it.
"Ryan’s work with youth is transformative. It is rare to find a mentor that young musicians can feel comfortable and honest with and yet also receive the utmost professional direction on musicality, performance and arrangements."
– Sarah Loritz @ STG
