Ryan Anthony
Born in JA, raised in CA. I took up piano at the very young age of 6 years old, and I continued to play until I was 14 or 15. Although it has been many years since I've quit, I still possess the fundamentals needed in order to play the piano at a mediocre level.
I never really wanted to make beats growing up; it wasn't a part of my game plan. As a kid my game plan was, like many kids, to be a superstar athlete or a superstar rapper. I was pretty good and sports and NOT good at rapping. One day I thought to myself, "I don't feel accomplished after I rap over another persons beat. I want to make my own." Of coarse, back then, in the very beginning, I had no idea where to start... so I never did. Then, like it was meant to be, I was introduced to Fruity Loops 3. I had a good time with it. I learned that I can finally do what I wanted with music. So I incorporated my piano skills into hip-hop beats which I started out making first.
As the years passed, I was on and off, but then as I turned 19, I really got into making beats. This wasn't just for rapping over anymore, I was making them because I wanted to. Eventually, I started getting more and more into R&B which is why I did a complete switch. Now, 3 years later, I'm still doing what I love and hope to continue for the rest of my God given life. I hope you enjoy the music.
