Hey, I'm Ryan.

Graduated in December from Santa Clara University (management / music major).

I'm pretty adventurous. I like to travel and see new things. I'm a burner. I love the outdoors ~ big fan of camping, hiking, fishing, climbing, canoeing, rafting, and tubing.

I listen to a lot of different music and go to lots of shows. I love skiing and snowboarding. I love to cook. I play ultimate frisbee and frisbee golf. Big fan of people watching and driving w/the windows down. I love to drink dark beer and shoot pool. I love to go out and party. I LOVE the city. I love to dance. I like staying up late and sleeping in. I love cracking jokes and making people laugh. I love being myself.

What I'm doing with my life:

Just moved to San Francisco in May. This town is the shiiit. Going back to school... taking audio engineering and music production classes at Pyramind.

Been working several part-time jobs for some promoters, venues, and production companies... As of recently, I did some volunteer work for Noise Pop as well as Burning Man and C3 Presents.

I am currently one of the marketing and street team coordinators for a local, electronic music production company and record label called MalLabel Music. We throw underground Dubstep/Glitch hop parties as well as promote and distribute local, electronic music. If you are into electronic music... you should definitely check us out. We throw some of the sickest underground parties in the Bay area.

I also play in a couple bands... a hip hop/reggae group and a jamtronic/dubstep/lazer bass side-project. I DJ, play guitar, drums, keyboard, and harmonica.

I also DJ @ bars, clubs, and house parties for fun... and a little extra cash. I mostly spin electronic music, but I will indulge in a little hip hop from time to time. I've been spinning a lot of Dubstep and Glitch Hop as of recently...
