Anonymous asked: in response to earlier Q's. thats sooo crazy! my cousin introduced me to ur music and told me u were on saddle creek! lmao my cousins a liar jk but keep up the good work. i (and my friends and cosin lol)will be listening;)

You know I’ll take it as a huge compliment even if he was mistaken because I would be honored to be on Saddle Creek, or to even be mentioned with the label. 

I’m so thankful for my fans, I really count on you guys for motivation. Recently I haven’t had any time to work on music which makes the little time I do even harder to make something. I promise to have more music as soon as my schedule’s easier and I can sit down and create again.

Until then it would be so greatly appreciated if you spread the word of my work. Take care my friend.

Anonymous asked: i never would of thought that becuse of the quality. thats realy amazing i always assumed an indie label and studio.

Thank you so much, really. That is such a great compliment and I really appreciate it; hopefully one day you’ll be right.

Anonymous asked: i was wondering, are u signed to a label or anything? also wat studio u use?

I’m actually not signed to a label, though I hope one day I might. To answer your second question regarding the studio, I actually just record in my room. I use the basics;nothing fancy or high priced.

I record on Garageband and I use Audacity to import the files into mp3s. I’ve used Garageband so much over the years I guess I just found a way to manipulate, edit, and create sounds, instruments, and how to make the song sound as good of quality as it can be.

I hope to invest in a slightly better software at one point and cross my fingers that someone with the right say will find my music.

samguillemin asked: I think you are the most amazing musician and songwriter I've ever heard, I can listen to your music all day (which when I get the chance I do) I love your music more than anything else I've ever heard. Sometimes I listen to it and find a song that I really like for that moment and listen to it over and over (I hate hearing things over and over) but right now I want you to know I've listen to 'Jump the Gun' like ten times on my Ipod because I'm really enjoying the song. You are so amazing.

Thank you hunny bee you’re always so kind and good to me. I was at a musical block and artistically blocked for years; until you. So thank you. I love you, and I always will.

It’s been a while…

you wouldn’t believe how much I’ve been working. I’m a barista at a local coffee shop and working night shifts to morning shifts; I’ve missed creating so much. I’m not sure when I’ll ever have free time at this point :/

Anyway’s, I miss you all. Hopefully you’ll hear from me soon.

missmayghen asked: I just recently decided to start listening to your music. Why I haven't done it sooner, I'll never know. But I can honestly say I've quickly become a very loyal fan! Your stuff is simply fantastic. Keep up the wonderful work!

Thank you so much Mayghen! Your words bring so much happiness, it is always the very best compliment I can get to hear that I even have fans and loyal listeners. I promise you I will always create more music for you to hear, and I hope you’ll always listen. I’m so very grateful for your support.

Jump The Gun - Original Song By: Ryan Escalante 

Lyrics



You want to run before you can walk

Sing me a song before you can talk

You wish to preach what you don’t believe

And you long to dream before your asleep

You want to fast forward a life you cant get back

Then pause and rewind and reminisce of your past

But that’s just a con, a scheme you have made

You’re face is your mask, but this mask you can’t trade

And it seems that you want everything you can’t have

Your insatiable appetite will only make you sad

But don’t take it from me who am I to say

What is and what isn’t, what direction’s the way

You say that I’m young, ignorant, and naive

Because I have felt what you’ll never see

I’ve learn to accept what is and what’s not

Comprehend what I know is never enough

That don’t mean it’s the end though don’t mean it’s not true

That you can’t be fulfilled with an unwritten truth

And should I be wrong then the sky should turn grey

Then I will turn mute with the write words to say

But I don’t wish to fly because I do not have wings

And I won’t bite my tongue, when you’re shoutin’ at me   

May Self Portrait - May, 2012
