Inspired by the way Peter Gabriel has always pushed musical boundaries, Rian Music wanted to do the same. Much of ‘4th St’ is influenced by the legendary singer-songwriter across 14 tracks that embrace life as we know it. How we respond to our lives, the ups and downs of life and how we have to rise above. Something each member knows about in their own way.
Rian Music is fronted by Rian Mac who grew up in Ireland performing the passionate fighting and drinking songs of his traditional upbringing while still in high school. As he grew older both he and his music matured. So much so he took all he had, packed it in a bag, and landed in San Francisco. With only $20 to his name, Rian took to busking in the city by the Bay.
Along the way Rian started his own independent record label, Rian Music.
Through a chance meeting at Pajama Recording Studios in Oakland he met the Grammy-nominated producer and multiinstrumentalist, James “The Godfather” Gardiner. With 50 Gold records to his name, James is a pure genius when it comes to producing music and he has worked with Tupac, Will Smith, Beyonce, and more including on the ‘Star Wars’ franchise and ‘The Fast and Furious’ franchise. Rounding out Rian Music’s sound is Victor Campos, a working class gentleman and a man who can write a song just as pristine as he can play guitar.
Victor blends his unique stylings effortlessly from his acoustic picking to his driving riffs...Victor rocks.
The band also works alongside aspiring artists, musicians, and vocalists on many of their recordings, such as Bay Area artists Kay Rayne and Yue, and from Texas Tehrah Love.
Together these masterful musicians have been able to spread their sound up and down the coast of California thanks to the love and support of college radio stations locally in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area, as well as in San Diego and Los Angeles on UCLA’s station. They’ve also been featured in Jammerzine which noted how Rian Music is “writing and producing original music filled with driving beats and powerful lyrics.”
With ‘4th St’ out March 26, 2020, the band is looking to continue reaching fans near and far with their music whether it be on airwaves or in local and national publications. With that, be on the lookout for more from them in terms of touring and new releases as the years come.
