Ryan DeSiato is an Austin-based singer-songwriter whose music blends acoustic blues, alternative rock, and soulful storytelling. His sound has evolved through decades of experience, shaped by personal struggles, growth, and a deep commitment to authenticity.

He started playing guitar at 15, teaching himself by playing along to Nirvana Unplugged in his mom’s garage. That early connection to music became a foundation for his creative path. In high school, he fronted an alt-rock band that opened for major acts like Creed, Big Wreck, and David Garza. But it was the acoustic guitar that kept calling him back.

By 19, Ryan had recorded his first solo acoustic album I AM in a single live session—an early sign of his raw, instinctive approach to music. Over the years, he’s built a catalog of over 200 songs and released multiple independent records, including EP 2004 and Double Edged. His music video for “Make Believe” won Best Video at the 2004 Austin Music Network Awards.

In 2005, a serious medical setback forced Ryan to put his career on hold. The following years were marked by depression, and personal challenges. Though he never stopped performing, he lost connection with the passion that originally drove him.

Through years of recovery and reflection, Ryan rebuilt his relationship with music and life. He’s since scored original songs for short films (Down to the River – Best Score, Wild Bunch Film Festival) and composed music for art exhibitions at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin.

In 2024, Ryan released All Good Things, his first album in five years. The record highlights his strongest qualities—soulful vocals, blues-driven guitar, and honest songwriting—and reflects a return to form.

Currently, Ryan is writing and producing new music for sync licensing, focusing on emotionally-driven, cinematic tracks for film, TV, and other visual media. With a strong catalog and a clear sense of direction, he continues building a career that connects his personal story with impactful music.
