BIOGRAPHY
Ryan Gio is a professional drummer who is committed to exceptional live shows and precise timing. He has been drumming his entire life and will continue to do so, in the best manner possible, until the day he dies. Although not inclusive, he specializes in Rock, Pop, Metal, Funk and Punk. His undeniable talent and severe energy on stage has been rapidly increasing his fan base and success since he moved to Los Angeles in 2009 after earning a Business Marketing Degree from Arizona State University.

With determination to find committed musicians, Ryan moved from AZ to L.A. and was immediately recognized for his skill getting work in recording studios, rehearsal sessions, tour placements and live concerts within days of his transfer. His band’s Stereo Scenario music featuring his drumming is now streaming worldwide on Pandora Radio and recently added to the very selective, elite artist roster awarding them their own unique channel station!

Ryan Gio is a frequent performer in Hollywood’s most famous venues such as the Whisky A Go Go, Viper Room, Roxy Theatre, and now closed Key Club, House of Blues and Knitting Factory sharing that stage with LA Guns. He manages time to create music videos with signed upcoming bands and works with world class record producers and movie directors such as producer Skip Saylor for LA Velvet’s “I Get Away With Murder” video and director JJ Huckin in LA Velvet’s music video “Here in Hollywood.” He worked with producer Ryan Greene recording Sex In Public’s self titled album and while working with Edge Of Paradise, he recorded with producers Bob Kulick and Brett Chassen at their Office Studios that was later mixed and mastered by Michael Wagener.

Ryan has been published in many international magazines including DRUM! Magazine as featured “New Blood” Artist in March 2014 stating “.., Gio’s powerful chops-filled playing is driving each of these acts.” He has been printed on the front cover of Lost Anarchy Magazine, pictured in two different band articles in Tattoo Magazine and favorably reviewed in Music Connection Magazine for a Whisky A Go Go performance describing him as being “Particularly fun to observe...” He showcased on tour with LA Velvet at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT and received the award “Hard Rock Band of the Year” with Dead Legend at the 22nd Annual Los Angeles Music Awards. Touring full time to Austin, TX for the 2012 and 2013 SXSW Music Festivals, he has opened for many well-known musical artists including drummer Kenny Aronoff at the Texas Music Rockfest. Ryan completed a 5 week tour with his new band Evernow on The Extreme Tour 16 performing all over the Southwestern United States and most recently performed at the 2018 ROCKLAHOMA Festival with LA Velvet!
	
Some of Ryan’s top drumming influences include; John Bonham of Led Zeppelin for his tasteful feel and groove, Danny Carey of Tool for his intricate technicality and power, Travis Barker of Blink 182 for his punk rock creativity, and Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe for his extravagant stage presence and big show. All these characteristics he incorporates within his own drumming.

I like making random songs and random remakes.
