about me
i’m rylan. i’m 26 years old and currently living in the chicago area.
originally from the central coast of CA, i’ve lived in los angeles and portland for school and work.
i started making playing music in high school, and have been recording ever since. i’m mostly an acoustic guitarist, but i have also played bass and electric guitar across a couple of music projects with friends. i dabble in vocals, drums & percussion, piano, and — most recently — violin.
my musical influences are radiohead, gorillaz, brockhampton, margot & the nuclear so-and-sos, darren korb, jeff rosenstock, and kanye west — among many others. i love indie rock, hip hop, downtempo, dub, and country folk.
outside of music, i am an amateur writer, involved in fantasy and sci-fi projects. you can find my worldbuilding project here. i’m heavily invested in video-gaming, tabletop games, and a lot of other fantastic, nerdy shit.
shoutout to my partner nyssa for always giving me the feedback i need, and my two cats, margot and frankie, for somehow getting their meows into almost every recording session.
