Ryder Stuart

Musician and Producer

Ryder Stuart on SoundBetter

I'm a modern musician based out of New York who specializes in all styles of popular music. I played guitar at Carnegie Hall's The Lead Belly Fest alongside the likes of Buddy Guy and written, produced and mixed songs that have been synced in commercials for Neutrogena, Victoria's Secret etc. Signed to 25th st/Raleigh Publishing

I'm capable of making tracks and mixing them in almost any style in my home studio, as i do a lot of for hire commercial work. With songwriting and singing being my first love, I can also top line or write lyrics and melodies on tracks that are given to me. I'm also a professional level, touring guitarist and keyboardist. My abilities on bass are very adequate and i can program or record drums
