www.reverbnation.com/ryanwayland
Ryan is originally from Los Angeles, California, a graduate of Hollywood’s Musicians Institute in the field of music production, recording and songwriting. His lyrical style has been influenced by many of the urban street poets and iconoclasts of the early beatnik generation and on up to the 60's and 70's. Summoning up traces of Bukowski, Burroughs, and Waits, Ryan often personifies in his songs characters corrupt, depraved or misunderstood as heard in "The 20th Floor", "Temptation" and even the more satirical "Clean As A Child". His music has been described as dark, sultry, animated and gritty. Integrating elements of blues, rock, folk, jazz and even surf music, Ryan is always pushing to make sure his listeners are hearing something they haven't heard before.
