ABOUT

I am an active Singer/Songwriter looking for another songwriter and members (guitar, bass and drums) to form a band in the Newark/Wilmington/Philly/Baltimore area. Ive been playing music for most of my life and I really enjoy it as a great way to have fun and express yourself. I was in a band for 3 years and had to disband when I went to college, but I am now a graduate and looking to get back into performance and playing gigs. A sample of my music can be found on ./ryanmatternmusic as well as on ./ryanmattern. I have a bit of experience with recording also and studied using ProTools.
