Writing and performing music

Performance has always been a big part of Ryan’s life. From the early days of piano recitals back in 2008 to playing with some of the biggest rock bands in 2025, Ryan has always been drawn to the stage. Ryan had the honor to play in the bands of many musicians, including Ty Bogikes, Bryanna Bell, and Jack Lutz. He shared the stage with bands such as JADY, WhoSavedWho, Trixter, and Enuff Z’Nuff. He is currently the bassist for the Sacramento-based indie band Sweet Mango. See his performance gallery here.

Off the stage, He has also spent some quality time in the studio. During his senior year 2024-2025, he spent a lot of time writing, recording, and producing his first original EP, “Case Files from a Broken World.” This four-song EP serves as a love letter to his college experience and the friends he made along the way. He has also written a few solo songs, including “Alone in a Crowd,” “Kings,” and “Peaks and Valleys.” See his musician portfolio here.
