Ryan Harris Music

Ryan Harris is a Musician & Filmmaker making music from his bedroom make-shift studio in Whistler, Canada. Ryan is also the guy writing this bio in 3rd person to make it seem like he has a “team” but really it’s just me in my DIY studio making songs haha, anyways, back to third person.

Ryan grew up living and surfing in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia until age 15 when his family finally settled back in Canada. Ryan kicked off his live act opening for Ocie Elliott at their sold-out hometown show in 2023. Ryan's listeners often listen to Ocie Elliott, Oliver Hazard, Hazlett, Hollow Coves, Salt Tree and other indie-folk acts. Ryan was asked to open for Dermot Kennedy at Rogers Arena in 2023 but unfortunately missed the email as he was out of service in Mexico, shoot! Who knows where this will all go, but damn, I just love making music so thanks for listening!

Ryan's music is inspired by his childhood growing up in New Zealand listening to Ben Howard, John Butler Trio, and Jack Johnson. You can follow along on Ryan’s Spotify.
