About Ryan B

I was born in northern California but moved to El Paso, Texas when I was very young. My mother, a singer, exposed me to music early and I received my first drum set at age 4 (The Muppet Sound 3 Piece....sweet!). Undeterred by the fact that I was not accepted into the Dr. Teeth Band, I pressed on. A few bands in high school, a couple of years at UNT for Jazz studies, a few more bands after that in Dallas and in Austin, a few beers, and here I am.
