Ryan Neely hails from the Pacific Northwest where he began creating music as a teenager. He learned guitar from a Beatles music book and started writing his own songs soon after. Ryan studied music at Oregon State University to acquire more tools for songwriting and production.

After flying out to Nashville a handful of times to write and record, he decided that’s where he wanted to put down roots. So in 2021 he made the jump and moved to Music City to pursue lifelong dreams.

Ryan released his first solo song last year called “Ghost Town.” His gritty, honest sound is influenced by artists like Zach Bryan, Kaleo, and Imagine Dragons. He is also a music producer and not only produces his own music but works with other indie artists around town to bring their musical ideas to life.
