Hi, I’m Ryland DeStefano — a 16-year-old guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter with a lifelong passion for music. I picked up classical guitar at the age of 4, which laid the foundation for my journey into a wide range of genres, from rock to indie and acoustic pop.

About a year ago, I began singing and quickly fell in love with the art of storytelling through voice. I especially enjoy performing covers of artists who inspire me — like John Mayer and U2 — while also developing my own sound as a songwriter. My original music reflects both personal experiences and broader social themes, with the hope of creating songs that resonate, heal, and inspire change.

Beyond performing, I’m also deeply involved in the technical side of music. I engineer, record, and produce — including many of my own tracks — which allows me to shape each song from the ground up.

Thank you for listening. I’m excited to share this journey with you.
