Growing up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., Ryan’s creative spirit showed early on. He taught himself to play piano, drums, and guitar, inspired by bands like Linkin Park, JAY-Z, and Green Day. His first live shows took place at high school parties, where he impressed classmates with his off-the-cuff freestyling. In 2017, he moved to Los Angeles without any concrete plan — and that leap of faith paid off. His track “Drinking About You” went viral and has since earned over 40 million streams on Spotify.
Ryan’s music blends wit, honesty, and confidence. He shifts between genres with effortless fluidity, creating a sound that’s unmistakably his own.
His latest record, OPUS — which he’ll bring to Prague — is a fiery explosion of passion, packed with early-2000s-inspired beats, deeply personal lyrics, and uncompromising energy. It opens with the blistering hard-rap track “I WISH” and moves through some of his most honest songs to date. Ryan Oakes remains one of the most compelling innovators on the rock-rap scene — his music is as raw as it is electrifying.
