About the Artist

Ariel O’Ryan is a pop musician singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and dancer and has been writing and recording music, singing, and dancing since she was a child. Her music has been described as folk pop or “La Musica Leggera” which tells a story and is coupled with her mesmerizing angelic vocals. Ariel O’Ryan grew up in Northern California in a small town near San Francisco. She travelled with her parents performing at festivals and private events during the year when she was not in school. She has performed locally in numerous artistic hubs including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle and internationally in Ireland, England, Italy, and France.

“Ariel’s lyrics are heartfelt messages and reflect the emotional feelings in her melodies. Her voice is sweet as an angel who believes in her own songs, as we all do after hearing her sing!” says Jack Smalley, when asked to describe Ariel’s music. Ariel is releasing her first new full-length solo album this fall. She will be touring in Italy this summer as a prerelease to her album. There will be a CD release party in Los Angeles in the fall of 2016 following her European summer tour. There is a tour in Japan being scheduled for Spring 2017. This album is the first of many to come from Ariel as a solo artist. Live performances with other musicians including horn and string sections for festivals and local performances are in the works. Ariel O’Ryan is collaborating with the producer Christopher Bejole on this album and has worked with him previously on earlier projects.

She loves both writing and performing songs in different languages and has an amazing ear for accents and musical styles. She will be releasing an entire album in Italian as one of her upcoming project releases. She has strong connections to Ireland, Italy, and Japan and will be balancing her time touring between the US, Europe, and Asian countries.
