Биография

Ryan Hicks is an alt-pop, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer from Regina,Saskatchewan. Hicks has been featured on SiriusXM and CBC radio, and has charted on campus radio across Canada. He has toured extensively throughout Western Canada, and has showcased at notable festivals including Breakout West and Gateway Music Festival. Hicks’ forthcoming release, Experience, was recorded over a five day span with Jonathan Anderson at Protection Island in Vancouver, BC. Jonathan also engineered the record, and was the producer. Experience is a deeply personal and cinematic record that reflects the ups and downs of three years throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Hicks’ songwriting captures stark emotions that he exemplifies through visceral storytelling layered over spirited, twangy, melodies. He cites his primary influences as Fleet Foxes, Brian Wilson, and Paul McCartney. In speaking to the process, he elaborates, “During the pandemic, while I had time to write music, I did not write anything for over a year. As much as I wanted to, I just did not have it in me. I spent that time connecting with nature and myself. I felt I needed to seek counseling, and that changed me. Soon after, it was like a great river opening up of creativity. I began writing songs again - songs that ended up on this new album.
