PLUG IN with multi-instrumentalist Ryan Alexander

Brea Graber • Jul 30, 2020

Discover a bit about our Nō Studios Unplugged guest, Ryan Alexander!

1. How do you describe yourself as an artist?
I'm a mixture of Hip-Hop, R&B, and Soul. The genre I like to put myself in is, New Wave Soul. I mashup my personal life stories, over my chord heavy production, with a dope beat to go along with it. Influences include, Marvin Gaye, Dwele, Tribe Called Quest, Nas, and many many more!

2. What's the best part of your job?
Seeing the reactions of the crowds (large or small), and feeling their energy. Truly miss this the most, since we've been on quarantine. Nothing like having people in a room for one purpose: the music. We can reach so many people that we may never meet, and make major impact on their lives. The music lovers are the best part.  

3. What's the best advice that you can give to someone who is exploring your career?
Don't ever quit! Persistence is the key. We're all getting better everyday, and as long as we put in diligent time and effort, success will meet you at the end of your journey.  

4. What does socializing with purpose mean to you?
My purpose when socializing is to first, remember their name, and connect it with something that I can relate it to. Then I make sure to connect with them via social media, or whatever is comfortable. These relationships tend to build over time, and usually leads to mutual support down the line. You never know who someone may become, so it's always important to socialize with purpose!
