Not Your Typical Event Music

Deep sound. A lasting feeling.

About Ryan

Music that moves people.

You’ve probably heard cello music before — but not like this.​ I’m Ryan, a cellist creating a full spectrum of live music for events across New Mexico.

 

My goal isn’t to impress. It’s to move. If you’ve ever felt something shift during a live performance and couldn’t explain why — that’s what I’m offering.

“I found your music and couldn’t stop listening." That’s how most people find me. They feel it first. Then they book.

"Ryan Smith is an incredibly talented cellist who has made two of our most special occasions truly unforgettable. 

His music is simply stunning—so full of feeling that it will bring you to tears. Whether performing for a large event or a more intimate gathering, Ryan’s artistry, professionalism, and genuine passion shine through. I can’t recommend him highly enough!."

What I Offer

Cello that connects. More than solo.

Every song is produced by me – cello, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and more. I remove the cello melody to perform it live. The sound is full and layered, the kind of rich atmosphere you might hear scoring a television drama. It varies from song to song. 

​

People will notice the quality. It doesn't demand their attention – it earns it. 

​

Using just a cello and a sound system, I make every event feel like it has a soundtrack made for it.

Music for people. All people.

There's no template here!
Just sound with soul, played by someone kind, patient, and deeply present.
