Guitar Piano Bass Guitar Ukulele Saxophone Audio Production Songwriting

Humility - there were many times while living in Nashville that I found myself in the comparison game with other guitarists and musicians around me. Eventually I realized that most of my success as a musician is not based on skill alone, but the relationships I build with the musicians around me. To this end, I developed a mindset of humility towards music, focusing on the belief that we all have a song to song that is uniquely our own. Knowing this, I no longer became frustrated at the shortfalls in my playing, but inspired to find them and work on them.

About Ryan H.

Originally from Columbia, Illinois, a small town outside of St. Louis, Missouri, Ryan Hoffman's music career began when he started singing and playing guitar when he was 14. After spending much of high school and writing music with bands playing rock, blues, jazz, and gospel music local to St. Louis, Ryan moved to Nashville, Tennessee after receiving the Presidential full-ride scholarship to attend Belmont University. The newfound opportunities while living in Nashville allowed Ryan to begin his career as a performing musician while attending college, having the opportunity to work with artists such as Stephanie Quayle, Cage the Elephant, and Maranda Curtis, as well as touring in Spain, the United States and Canada as a guitarist and music director for various artists before graduating in December of 2019. Since moving to Los Angeles, Ryan has enjoyed diving more into the recorded music industry while getting to know the city. He recently produced and performed in a number of music videos for Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actress Chrissy Metz. He continues to keep an active schedule of teaching, as music education has been a central part of his life for many years. He believes that the mentality of a lifelong student - carefree and eager to learn from their mistakes - is a key to unlocking the joys of both music and all life has to offer. In his free time he enjoys hiking, basketball, and good conversations with friends.
