ABOUT

My Name is Casey Ryan and I am a struggling artist currently living in Boise, Idaho. I am trying to make my way back to Las Vegas to pursue my music career and hopefully move to LA or New York for a record deal. I absolutely love everything about music. I love writing new beats and lyrics, recording, producing, marketing, and performing. It hasn't always been a very positive road though. I have had many struggles in my life that have effected my music. Being from broken homes, to financial issues, heat break, and self discovery. I have always been a very shy person and that has hindered me in growing as a performer. But as the recent years have past, I have grown a better and stronger understanding of who I am as a person and who I ultimately want to be in the future.

Influences

My musical influences are mostly women. I have found that women posses this power and strength in their vocal and what they write about. I do have some male influences that are amazing and who I have modeled my first song off of. They all range from Kelly, Clarkson, Zac Poor, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Glee Cast, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Clay Aiken, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, and it truly goes on and on.

EQUIPMENT

I can't play really instrument. The amazing music you hear in my songs are almost entirely done by my producer Jason MaComber. He is hands down the best person to work with in Boise! I can play the piano, but I can't read sheet music. So that hinders me a lot. I have to learn by ear, chords, or by watching someone play it.
