Ryan Keen started playing guitar at the age of 8, honing his talents with styles ranging from classical, flamenco and folk through to electric, before developing the percussive finger-style he is known for today. Drawing from a wide range of influences, Ryan is certain to be a sure-fire hit with fans and music aficionados alike.
Despite years of experience playing guitar with other performers, vocalists & bands, Ryan only launched his solo career in December 2008, quickly building a catalogue of catchy and emotional self-written material. Drawing from his own personal experiences, it is clear that Ryan is incredibly passionate about the music he writes, with vocals and lyrics that compliment his complex guitar parts.
Ryan self released his debut EP Aiming For The Sun in January 2010 which gained him several festival bookings and a sync deal (the title track was recently aired on the hit Canadian TV Show 'Degrassi').
