Bio
........ Ryan Hanifl is a new emerging artist in the music world. Once a member of several touring groups VERTICES, THE SIZAR SHIP, & YOUR HORRIBLE SMILE, Ryan decided to leave the “band life” and concentrate on making music that is entirely his own. In 2007, Ryan wrote, arranged, produced, performed, and recorded all the music on his first full-length solo debut Sourpuss. .. The diversity in Ryan's music comes from his out-of-the-ordinary background, having grown up in a small rural farming town in Minnesota. At 8 years old Ryan became a member of the prestigious Boys Choir of La Crosse, WI, that had him traveling the globe by his 12th birthday. And although Ryan did not take music too seriously until he picked up a guitar at the age of 18, he eventually enrolled and graduated with scholarships from renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2001... From Massachusetts he moved to Los Angeles where he began working with A-list film composer Hans Zimmer as an assistant, but soon branched off on his own as an in-house composer for a Los Angeles based music production company. There Ryan wrote and produced hundreds of custom music cues for reality television, advertising clients, and national television spots. Eventually the routine nature of writing for a production library took its toll and Ryan found himself in a recording deal and on the road with his band, affording him the pleasure of performing before crowds across America and at key music festivals like SXSW. .. Ryan’s classical training combined with his pop and commercial background is what gives Sourpuss its theatricality and yet simultaneous independent quality. Ryan Hanifl is a new kind of artist, one that is distinctly original but universally appealing. ..
