Amber Ryann is an artist, producer, creative director, and content creator Based in Los Angeles. Amber Ryann is redefining what it means to be a "triple threat", taking the emerging artist game by storm with full control over her creative output. Not only a singer, songwriter and producer, Amber is also responsible for her merch design, filming her own media content, directing and editing her music videos, and nearly all of the other content that comes out of her brand. She has over 35,000 monthly Spotify listeners, has created her own video game and VR filter for her fans, and even sold out her own NFT collection. Her music has been featured across many of Spotify's editorial playlists like Fresh Finds, Alternative Hip-Hop, SALT, and 'fit check, and she has been noticed by outlets like OnesToWatch, Earmilk, and Lyrical Lemonade. She is also an official Ernie Ball artist ambassador.
Amber discovered music as a source of comfort when she was young, and as she got older she saw creating her own music as an opportunity to try to make sense of the world around her. Her music’s originality and diversity are derived from multiple sources - her father who was a hip-hop producer, her mother who was a fan of late 90’s R&B and hip-hop music, and the fast emerging early 2000’s emo, hardcore and alternative rock scenes that captured her attention as a teenager. Her experiences as part of the LGBTQ community also greatly influence her writing. Amber’s broad taste in music and her willingness to share her inner self with complete honesty have truly set her apart from her peers as an artist.----
