Experience:
Ryan was born in Rockford, Illinois in 1975. He was weened on late
70’s R&B and funky clans such as Al Green, Sly Stone, Earth,
Wind and Fire, and Curtis Mayfield.
With his roots planted in everything funky, along came the 80’s
and some of the heaviest synth sounds ever heard. That is when
he knew what he wanted to do, so at the early age of 7 ½ he
journeyed to Minneapolis and was introduced to the synth.
After teaching himself to read music, 10 years later played
keyboards in a few bands in college and finally settling in with
Skyhi, he met Aaron (a fellow Illinoisan). Has been playing the tasty clavinet, Hammond, Rhodes, and Synth Riffs heard since way back.
