Ryan Marquez is a keyboardist, songwriter/arranger, and vocalist baptized in soul, indoctrinated by jazz and raised in hip-hop culture. His performances launch audiences on a synthesized ride through luscious harmony and righteous melody. Think Steely Dan steeped with Stevie Wonder cooled down by Robert Glasper. His songwriting serves uplifting messages of love and peace attuned to danceable grooves with catchy anthem styled hooks. His projects Fresh Heir (pop/soul), The Belief Cycle
(pop/dance) and The People’s Key (jazz/funk) have been staples in the Midwest for nearly 2 decades. His first solo project is set for release in the Fall of 2020.
