"Best Next Big Thing- Ryan Hernandez"

Ok, So we're going out on a limb. But Ryan Hernandez's performance are something to behold, with a voice alternating bringing to mind Al Green's soulfulness , Stevie Wonder's emotional intensity and John Legend's dulcet tones-not bad company for a 24-year old self taught musician from Sacramento. (He also plays acoustic guitar and piano and does it well.) By mixing old school classics like "Let's Get It On'' with new-school pop/alternative, Hernandez is a hit with what he calls the ''16 to 60 crowd,'' performing regularly at local venues. - Best of Sacramento Magazine

Bio

Ryan (age 25) started playing music at the age of 13. At that time he was attending a Performing Arts Charter School which focused on young teenagers who had a passion for art, dance, music, drama, etc. This is where his interest for music began. Drums was the first instrument that he started playing and in his late teens he started booking/promoting his self by simply walking into venues and handing out demo's to restaurant/bar/club managers hoping for the best. To his surprise, he was able to catch the attention of some very well known venues such as Sacramento Magazine, Buzz Oates and co. and The Maloofs. Years later he found his self performing weekly at well known high end establishments making a living as well as a name for his self in the busier Sacramento area playing covers ranging from old R&B classics 70's 80's to contemporary pop,alternative, rock, etc.

What sets Ryan a part from most solo artists is his soulful and passionate vocal style. He tries his best not to sound like the original artist, however musically the songs are flawless in the sense that he stays true to the song. The fact is, there are thousands of cover bands and solo artists who can imitate someone's sound but when Ryan plays, he will stay in the original key of the song so that there is no butchering chords and no transposing. The biggest element of his live shows is the multi instrumentation which consists of live looping and creating the effect of multiple performers. Some songs it will be just him playing an instrument and singing, then he'll just play enough on one string so that the vocals can be showcased, and the next minute there will be layers of drums created by hitting a certain area of his guitar, followed by bass sounds and vocals being delayed. Ryan is the real deal and caters to any and every crowd, he is a true one man band.
