Ryan is the quintessential Artist...A rich combination of talent, skill and sensitivity to what really worked for my song and he brought it up onto Higher Ground as a result.

Ryan is always a pleasure to work with AND he delivers top-notch, professional results. Highly reachable and communicative, Ryan is capable of delivering just about anything in any genre: vocals with a wide range of styles and he plays every instrument, which is a huge bonus. Add to that a capable and current studio engineer, wrap it all into one, and you found yourself a one-man wrecking crew.

I am a professional artist living in Tokyo, Japan. I found Ryan via the American Voice. I fell in love with his voice instantly!! Ryan went above & beyond creating the perfect part for my song. Supa soulful but has all the vocal chops and then some. Ryan is also a multi-instrumentalist so he understands how everything sits in a song and co-exists....this makes a huge difference to the delivery of a hook or the meaning of a lyric. Ryan is always way ahead of schedule and delivers in spades!! I

I honestly have the biggest smile on my face right now. I came to Ryan asking for a professional-sounding recording, instead I got a freakin' masterpiece! If you have any doubt in your mind on whether or not to choose Ryan to do your music production, all I can say is that you won't be disappointed. He absolutely went above and beyond with my song and I know he will with your song too. Thanks Ryan!

Review.
Wow Ryan is so fast, we gave him a song demo. We are a country band from Tuscon AZ and he made us sound like a bonafide authentic Nashville recording! After he delivered the order he also helped us with the artwork and gave us pointers on duplication and the post album process! We will be back! - check_circleVerified
Ok so I am a mere small town Thunder Bay songwriter and I was on the hunt for an online studio that could take my kinda half @ss'd song and make it better! Well I think my jaw is permanently on the floor. Gave Ryan my demo and it wasn't that flattering and he then played guitars, bas, keys and sang BGV and not only helped me by making a guide vocal of re singing it, well i sucked it up and tried it his way and I cannot stop smiling. He created a iTunes ready single and I am so proud!
