La Poré is the music moniker of Los Angeles based songwriter, producer, and actor Nick Samson.

After the release of his June 2017 debut, “Close,” the artist quickly followed up that September with the track “Sad Girl," garnering attention from global fashion and music label Maison Kistuné. In March 2018, the follow up, “Missing It,” was included in Kitsuné Musique's collaboration album with the NBA, Kitsuné America 5: The NBA Edition. In April 2019, “Missing It” was used in the official soundtrack for the Netflix film "The Perfect Date."

After years of consistent single releases, La Poré dropped his debut self-titled EP on July 22, 2022. Leading the way were the singles "Headphones," "Everyday's My Friday," and "Honey." These songs were all written during Covid lockdown in Samson's studio apartment in North Hollywood.

2023 was a huge year for La Poré continuing old and cultivating new collaborations with other artists. The first single, "Two Way Street" was written with fellow Ohians and indie-pop standouts Clubhouse. The follow up singles "Never Come Down," "Come and Gone" and "Wasted Love." were written and produced with Henry Blaeser and Jaye Locke, respectively.

Andrew Ryan, is an American singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer.

Ryan's work lives at the border of several neighborhoods: folk, garage rock and what we've come to call alt-country. 
Mixing media and metaphors, one resembles the painter who brings a fine touch to everything he or she does, emphasizing line and light, stressing symmetry. The other side runs quick and dirty after its muse, spilling paint onto canvas with physicality.
Andrew Ryan indulges his inner Jackson Pollock early and often on his new record, "Wild Terrain/You Cannot Delete Yourself!"

Life on the road isn’t the only source of inspiration. Ryan’s hometown in southeast Missouri also plays a role in his songwriting. An economically depressed area, the town and area’s history revolves around the lead mining industry, the only reason the place even exists. The blue-collar work ethic is relatable to Ryan, who has worked in factories, and also spent a decade traveling the country working at various oil refineries and power plants as a welder throughout the midwest. 

Centered firmly in heartland Americana, Ryan’s upcoming album, A Tiny Death, departs from his last record, Wild Terrain/You Cannot Delete Yourself!

It’s this return to his roots, whether through his hometown or a stop on the road, that makes Andrew Ryan innately authentic.
