Über Ryan Downing
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I have been exposed to music my whole life. My dad and lyric collaborator Mitch Downing showed me some chords on the guitar when I was 9. With tutoring from local musicians and time spent watching video lessons, I've become a multi-instrumentalist.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Chris Bell, I Am the Cosmos
The Beach Boys, Pet Sounds
Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
These albums have inspired me immensely over the years. When I was thirteen, I would nonstop play "Pet Sounds" for weeks trying to decipher Brian Wilson's gorgeous melodies and production techniques. "YHF" and "Cosmos" have been influential recently.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
I was featured in Relix Magazine twice. First in their December 2021 issue with a version of my song "Candy Cane," then in March 2022 with a song I collaborated on with smooth jazz trumpeter and vocalist David Jones called "Get Back Up."
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I think every artist should aspire to achieve larger goals, no matter how successful they are. They should set their ambitions high and release what they love. Art as a whole is about self-expression. Push forward with your music and don't look back.
