Ryan Montano Band - I play the trumpet and write songs and arrangements for my band and bands for whom I play. Currently, my biggest musical passion is songwriting. I strive to write songs that are honest, well-written and well-produced. 

I love playing the piano. I'm enjoying the challenge of learning a new instrument and using this new voice as a catalyst to write songs and arrangements.

As of late, my biggest musical influences come from the genres of soul and singer-songwriter. June Marieezy, John Mayer, Allen Stone, Jim Croce, Norah Jones, Tingsek, Justin Timberlake, Citizen Cope, Lukas Graham, Jamie Cullum, Nicholas Payton and The Association are a few artists from whom I'm drawing inspiration.
