Working with directors such as Damien Chazelle (Whiplash), Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, 13), Taylor Hackford (Ray, An Officer & A Gentleman) and producers Judy Cairo (Crazy Heart, Stuck In Love) and Ed Saxon (Silence of the Lambs, Adaptation), Andy has established a strong reputation as a passionate music creative with extensive knowledge and experience working with artists, lawyers, agents, composers, managers, publishers, record companies, film distributors, movie producers and directors.

You may have caught him when he toured in festivals in New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Brisbane, Australia. Well he's now back with his fourth release, his trademark visuals with a voice, and a newly-coined genre, which suits him like a glove.
After spending the summer of 2014 in New York and traveling to Abu Dhabi, Cambodia, & Australia (where he headlined Brisbane's Pride Festival, named "Define Me" after Ryan's song), Ryan was itching to hit the studio and release a new collection of work to his fans. In only three weeks, “4S” was born, Ryan's first collaboration with producer/instrumentalist Daniel Weidlein. Ryan calls “4S” a “short reflection on nature's influence over human behavior, be it in regard to love, sex, and mother nature herself”. The album features instrumental work by some of LA's best musicians including Kyle Crane (drums), Brandon Bae (guitar), and Miller Wrenn (bass). It also features collaborations with vocalists Jo Lampert (of Ryan's youtube hit "Define Me") and LA-native Julia Harriman. In October 2014, Ryan toured the Pacific Coast to promote “4S” in Los Angeles, San Francisco, & Seattle. Ryan Amador & Daniel Weidlein are currently at work on a full length release.
