Ryan Smith is a cellist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and mix engineer who redefines the art of performing with backing tracks. Unlike conventional backing tracks that serve as mere accompaniment, Ryan’s carefully considered compositions are living pieces. Dynamic and organic in tempo, Ryan records every instrument himself so each song draws listeners in, or can be enjoyed simply as excellent background music. Ryan’s music creates a rare duality—its gentle simplicity invites calm, while its vibrancy and passion uplifts and inspires.
