Composer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan
Farish describes his music as "positive chillout," though his fusion of
dance, electronica, and chill-out has earned him a following that spans
the boundaries of genre. Originally from Norfolk, Virginia, Farish began
taking music lessons and writing melodies when he was just four years
of age. As a teenager, he studied music performance at Norfolk's Old
Dominion University, and later studied music business at UCLA. In 2000,
Farish began taking his music public by posting material on the website
MP3.com; his music soon developed a loyal following, and in time he
racked up 1.8 million downloads from the site. The same year, he also
released his first album, In the Day, through a small independent label,
and in 2004 he signed with EMI to release his breakthrough album
Beautiful.
Since then, Farish had produced a steady stream of
albums and singles, establishing his own Rytone Entertainment label to
give him full control over his marketing and distribution. Farish's
career received a tremendous boost when the cable network The Weather
Channel began using his music as part of their broadcasts; his
distinctive, soothing melodies became a staple of their Local on the 8's
segment, his music was featured on the compilation album The Weather
Channel Presents: The Best of Smooth Jazz, and Farish was commissioned
to write the theme for the TWC's popular series Storm Stories.
He
has also licensed his music for use in a variety of television
programs, motion pictures, commercials, and promotional films. In
addition, he has worked with a number of other noted artists, including
vocalist Donna Lewis and musician and producer Paul Hardcastle, and has
collaborated with gospel vocal group Trin-I-Tee 5:7; "Listen" earned him
a Dove Award in 2008 from the Gospel Music Association. And Farish's
music is a frequent presence on YouTube; his song "Pacific Wind"
accompanied a video created to pay homage to American soldiers fighting
in Iraq which has received well over 30 million views. Farish has
remained highly prolific, delivering a bevy of albums including 2010's
Bloom, 2011's Upon a Dream, 60 on the iTunes dance charts. Two years
later, he returned with Spectrum. In 2017, Farish released the
full-length United, which showcased a softer sound influenced by the
birth of his daughter. ~ Mark Deming
