Bred in the hills of California's Monterey Bay, Ryan Scott has been handling the world of jazz guitar since he was a kid. Ryan moved to NYC in 2001 and took up with cookers in the East. One steady gig with new-blues chanteuse, Pyeng Threadgill at L.E.S's Anyway Cafe brought our man to the attention of shady A&R types from CrystalTop Music and the rest is hist. Tired of the narrow-minded traditionalist strictures of straight-ahead bop, Ryan has been looking outside that box the last few years. He melds a technical jazz background into pop structures with honest, pitch-perfect lyrics to create funky, emotional tunes that ooze heart and soul and head right for your chest.
