Bio

Ryan Masters lives in the small town of Alton, Ontario Canada. He has been writing, recording, and performing music since the age of 10. Ryan is the epitome of a small town soul, with a unique sound that can light up the world. Ryan has a catalogue of over 100 songs that he can pull from to create his live shows, which keeps people coming back for more. Ryan is only content when creating the music that is trapped in his heart, so he continues to follow his passion no matter what path it leads him down.

Ryan began his music quest becoming the lead singer and song writer in a few punk bands, most notably Martini. Martini had a good run of over 6 years and opened for bands like The Constantines, Gob, The Weakerthans, Marilyn’s Vitimins (Hostage Life), and many, many others. In the more recent years Ryan has played in bands like The Patterns, Jaguar Strip, Big David Little David and Pinnacle People to name a few. While in these bands he has opened for bands like Pretty Girls Make Graves, In Flight Safety, Joan Of Arc, Ambulette and many more.

As Ryan has matured, he has come to a realization that he must move forward with his career and settle for nothing less than a life in music. Knowing this, Ryan started putting all of his energy into solo recordings, spending months in his home studio writing, recording and producing all of his own music. Ryan released 2 solo records called My Kingdom and A Shadow In My Work Place.

Ryan’s next record called A Shadow In Kingdom Falls brought Ryan into a professional studio and introduced him to a producer named Greg Dawson (Moneen, Five Blank Pages, etc.). Ryan played all of the instruments (which he prefers) and produced it with engineer Greg Dawson. The record has 10 songs and is his most ambitious release so far; with many different styles including: country, folk, blues, rock, and pop. Ryan takes the listener on a journey of nostalgia, mystery, sadness, joy, and wonder. His arrangement skills stand out along with catchy hooks and innovative melodies.

Ryan is a multi-talented musician; this has afforded him the ability to follow his inspirations into the depths of his imagination. Having the ability to play all of the instruments as well as record and produce his own music, he has created a sound unique to Ryan Masters.

Now that Ryan has completed A Shadow In Kingdom Falls he has focused on progressing his music and perfecting that “Ryan Masters sound”. He has already completed the ground works for two new albums, In the Hills of Pilgrim and The Great Alton Fire. Both albums demonstrate the dedication that Ryan has for song writing and his unwavering love for the small town life. When Ryan decides to work with a label to distribute his music, those around him will discover a treasure chest of musical gems.

Ryan’s live show has allowed him to continue to add to his growing fan base. It is a regular sight to see his many fans dancing and singing along to the catchy hooks and rhythms that Ryan and his band supply. He has put together a live band with some of his older friends from his “band days”. The band captures everything that Ryan created in the studio and are all committed to getting Ryan’s music out into the world. Ryan is in the process of coordinating a tour, while playing shows on a regular basis all over Southern Ontario. Ryan is not only looking to release stellar albums but to play to the world by touring on a regular basis.

Ryan Masters is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer/song writer, engineer, filmmaker and all -round artist that will continue to make art for the sake of his great passion. His music is loved by those that have heard it and continues to make an impact on anyone who listens.
