Ryan Walker, CEO and founder of Bread Box Beats, showed a love for music at a young age. Real young. Throwing kicks and snares in the womb young. (Rumor has it his first words were, “Turn up my headphones.”) From there, the kid was all about music, banging away on pots, pans, even a breadbox or two.  By age 12, he had already become familiar with the sax, drums and guitar, while also writing original songs and poetry. Ryan’s love of music took him to Susquehanna University, where he double majored in music and dropping hot beats on squares. It was during college where Ryan became a co-producer for Show-E Records, an experience that led him to transfer to Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. Ryan graduated from this highly acclaimed university with a 98% GPA and attendance (a feat best comparable to photographing Paula Abdul during a moment of sobriety).

Recently, Ryan has had the privilege of playing keys on a few select songs from Craving Lucy’s self-titled debut album, which was produced by Toby Wright (Alice In Chains, Sevendust, Korn, Metallica). In addition, Ryan was hired to produce several tracks for the film Turbo, starring Justin Chon (Twilight), David Lehre (Myspace: The Movie, Epic Movie) and Jocko Sims (Jarhead, Dreamgirls). Among these was the film’s theme song, “Lime Light”, featuring dat boy Logic.  

Ryan’s goal for his music is to bring back the soul of the sound. To create songs with heart that inspire those who are driven by making music that will endure.
