I’m Ryan. I’m a musician in his late thirties and have been singing the majority of said years; that being said because of my need to speak out on things…a lot of things really…everything found on this profile is personally from the heart and from scratch; written, performed and recorded then posted on my sound cloud profile. I also collaborate occasionally with other artists outside of this and formerly cofounder of a band attempted back in early 2015 with a work colleague/buddy of mine. We are on hiatus and unsure of the possibility of continuing what we started whilst in the process of working on finishing all the songs we have long since written for our debut freshmen effort/album. I still hope to one day continue that project even if it’s just me since the band was technically my idea. I will try to have some demos of those songs posted on here in the not too distant future but that is a separate undertaking altogether. 

In addition to writing music I really enjoy doing covers of other bands/songs which can be found on Facebook, Instagram and most recently via Smule. I not only sing proficiently but I also am multifaceted. While I am good at other things too music is my life as it is and has been my background since I can remember learning how to do it a long time ago. I am the son of an earthly biological father and mother, an earthly blood brother to two, recently a brother in law to a sister who wed my baby brother. I am an earthly blood cousin to four, an earthly friend to all, an ex- fiancé, a boyfriend (it's complicated), a musician at heart, an athlete in body, a life composer in soul, a life juggler in daily struggles, a child of God. I have a heavenly father. I believe that we all are held accountable for what we do or don't do on earth with the gifts the creator has bestowed upon us. I believe that one day we will all have to answer for all our sins when judgement day comes. Pass on the light and do to others as you would have them do to you; love God and love His people and try your utmost to live a godly life while doing so. That's all for now....see you on the other side."

Missouri native T.C. Elliott, an unassuming singer/songwriter from a small town, writes songs from a quintessential midwestern point of view. Not overly impressed with grand statements, T.C.'s songs are often snapshots of a moment, a musical portrait of a scene. He possesses a skepticism, often a distrust, of popular opinion yet doesn't believe there is such a thing as a "guilty pleasure." The results of which are songs that often have a message that can be interpreted by the listener, that act as a metaphor.

T.C. comes from a creative family. His father is a multi-instrumentalist who often played folk and old timey music with friends out at the family farm. His mother was a painter and author in her spare time. Both of his parents were music lovers with a wide range of taste. They greatly influenced... rather, this love of music in many genres rubbed off on him something fierce.

T.C. has written well over one thousand songs and he often likes to joke, "At least one of them doesn't suck."
