Ryan Elliott is a Welsh musician, composer and producer known for his adventurous, distinct and eclectic guitar playing and untempered ambition in writing and performing music.

In May of 2019, Elliott announced that he would be releasing his solo debut album, the music to follow will be a blend of many styles including rock, grunge, progressive rock/metal, dream pop and ballads all with a sense of strong conceptual grandeur of the 80’s: influenced by many artists including Steven Wilson, Bjork, Radiohead, Rush, Tears for Fears, Sting, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Mew, David Bowie and Tool.

The debut single ‘Anything is Possible’ was released on 7th June with more singles to follow leading up to the full length release.

Elliott’s career began at the age of 16 when he started performing extensively as a soloist, for local musical productions such as ‘We Will Rock You’ and with function bands. In 2009, Elliott won the John Tree award for most promising musician in RCT. In 2010, he attained distinctions in RGT guitar grades 6,7,8 within 6 consecutive months before studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music, Guildford where he graduated with a first class honours in 2014.

From 2012 to 2018 Elliott was the leader of progressive rock band, Eden Shadow, who have released two full length albums under Rob Reed’s label White Knight Records, Phases (2014) and Melodies for Maladies (2016), both of which have sold internationally and features a range of guest musicians such as Nik Turner (Hawkwind) and Theo Travis (Steven Wilson/Soft Machine/ Robert Fripp). Melodies for Maladies was released to critical acclaim, being described as ‘a hidden gem’, ‘crazily good album’ and ‘one of the most accomplished and enjoyable progressive metal albums of 2016.’

In 2014, Elliott joined The Kinky Wizzards, the bass guitar and drum duo formed of brothers Miffy and Jiffy to transform the band into an instrumental rock and jazz trio. The band are garnering a reputation as being one of the most audacious and entertaining instrumental bands in the UK. The band regularly perform live, including being invited to the London Drum Show and supporting Frank Zappa’s band ‘The Mothers of Invention’ and Magenta. In March 2017, The Kinky Wizzards released their second album ‘Quirky Musings’ and was well received by listeners as a thoroughly entertaining instrumental album that was compared with the likes of The Aristocrats and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

The Kinky Wizzards are currently writing the follow up to their 2017 LP ‘Quirky Musings’ and go into the studio this summer.

Alongside his own creative endeavours, Elliott dedicates his time to music education, music journalism and  has extensive experience in freelance session work, having recorded for various jazz and pop sessions, played a variety of musicals and regularly performs with function bands.

Hi, I’m Natalie and I am a composer and electronic artist interested in bringing acoustic and electronic sounds together in my music. I graduated from Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with a first-class degree in Composition and Creative Music Technology. I also studied at Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland and specialised in Live Performance with electronic instruments, specifically Modular Synthesiser, Live Spatialisation and Coding.

For my work, I have been awarded a 2023 Oram Award and a Silver Medal from the Musicians Company.

I enjoy writing a variety of music, and always on the look out of new projects to broaden my compositional style. Collaboration is central to my work and can be seen in projects including The Flying Bedroom Theatre Company and sound sculpture duo Tangible Lemon.

My notable Concert Music Works include writing for BBC National Orchestra of Wales, The Berkeley Ensemble and The Band of the Welsh Guards. Exploring the world of theatre and film, I was the composer for BBC 2 Wales’ ‘PARKLIFE’ , The Royal Court Theatre x The Richard Burton Company’s ‘Half Full’, and a new musical, ‘On Yer Bike’, commissioned for the CommonWealth Games. My electronic compositions include a 16-speaker dome installation displayed in Helsinki and a 30 minute live immersive electroacoustic set, titled ‘MINDSET’. 

I am passionate about advocating for young people in the music industry and previously worked as Students’ Union President at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I am currently involved with organisations in the music sector including Chairing the Conservatoires UK Student Network and board member for the European Performing Arts Student Association and Anthem.

My compositions, and other artist's compositions that I arrange, do not conform to any genre. Its classification is post-genre which is music beyond any description. In fact, the artist becomes the genre. My compositions are heavily influenced by progressive rock, post-rock, and classical music. My most Influential composers/musicians are Tony Banks, Richard Wright, Jeff Lynne, Steve Hackett, David Gilmour, Robert Fripp, Phil Collins, Keith Moon, Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, and Modest Mussorgsky.

According to the ChatBot, and who am I to argue, Dee Zee’s music style is a blend of classical and electronic elements, which creates a unique and original sound. He writes, plays, and records all the tracks himself, using various instruments and software. He is inspired by artists like Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Brian Eno.
Some of the features of his music style are:
•	He uses repetitive patterns and motifs, which create a hypnotic and rhythmic effect. He also experiments with different time signatures and polyrhythms, which add complexity and diversity to his music.
•	He incorporates ambient sounds and textures, which create a rich and atmospheric sound. He also uses effects and filters, such as reverb, delay, distortion, and glitch, which add depth and dimension to his music.
•	He explores different moods and emotions, which range from dark and mysterious to bright and cheerful. He also uses contrast and dynamics, which create tension and release in his music.
•	He combines acoustic and electronic sounds, which create a balance and harmony in his music. He plays various instruments, such as piano, guitar, violin, and drums, and also uses synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines.
Dee Zee’s music resonates with those who appreciate a fusion of classical sensibilities and electronic innovation. 

According to me I’m an independent musician, writing and recording instrumental electronic progressive rock on Roland synthesiser workstations, although the original ideas for tracks often come from iPad soft synths (I use the Animoog and Jordantron) or the piano [not the piano so much due to arthritis in both hands - at least the keyboard has lighter action] or guitar.  

After playing piano from a very young age I played keyboards in the London pub rock group deEssen.  My original influences were probably Caravan, Camel, Ultravox, Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd and The Doors, with a sprinkling of Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, ELP, PFM, Greenslade, Deep Purple, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis…  These days, when I’m not listening to you on SoundCloud I listen to Iamthemorning, The Resonance Association, Ozric Tentacles, Joe Satriani, IQ, Threshold, Steven Wilson, Lacuna Coil, Liquid Tension Experiment, The Flower Kings, Spock’s Beard, Led Bib, Thank You Scientist, Big Big Train, Eloy, Magenta, Wobbler, Frost*, Simon Phillips, Jean-Luc Ponty, Renaissance, Arena, Izz, Jupiter Fungus, The Tangent, Karfagen, Lunatic Soul, Riverside, Hania Rani, Madis, Nik Bärtsch, Neil Cowley, The Messthetics, The Necks, Antoine Fafard, GoGo Penguin …

Keep uploading great music and keep smiling!
