Details:
Memphis native Ryan Peel melds modern pop sensibilities with an old-school soul sound. His original compositions are embedded with vocal stylings worthy of Al Greenâs greatest hits, and his drumming skills are evocative of the circa-1960s Stax studio technique made famous by the legendary Al Jackson, Jr.
Yet at 23, Peel is no mere revivalist â his songs are punctuated by a modern, urban slant that plays on hip-hop and southern rap. A riveting bandleader, Ryan holds down both percussion and vocal duties, relying on guitarist Alex Kramer, bassist David Parks and keyboardist Claude Hinds III to round out his group. Ryan has also lent a hand on dozens sessions, cutting music for the award-winning documentary film I Am A Man and the MTV series $5 Cover, and held down the drummerâs seat for a plethora of local Memphis artists, including rapper Al Kapone (Hustle and Flow). The experience has shaped his artistic vision of himself and his sound. For more info please visit: ryanpeelmusic.com

Reviews:

âRyan Peel is not only professional and well rehearsed; he possesses natural talent and has already garnered national attention by some top name producers. With continued live performances and working on writing more material like "Valentine", this young artist could be well on his way to a long and successful career.-Anne O'Nearyâ

"a young Adam Levine [Maroon 5] with a twist of Kanye West.â
â GRAMMY magazine

"A multi-talented singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer â his funky pop sound, a missing link between Al Green and Justin Timberlake â regularly packs venues and rooftop parties."âMark Jordan, GoMemphis (Commercial Appeal)
