Thanks for visiting! The name's Ryan Villanueva but friends call me Villa. There are too many Ryans and most people butcher my last name.
I was born and raised in the Appalachian Mountains, in Cumberland, Maryland.
I grew up taking piano lessons and when I was 13, I picked up the guitar and started teaching myself how to play.
Whenever people ask what kind of music I play, I usually say something along the lines of blues/bluegrass/folk, with a chance of some funky keyboards and/or playful kazoo.
I'm always writing songs and I hope to make a legit record within the next couple years. So look out! As for now, I play for the pure fun/love of it.
