Ryan Heflin

“To renew people’s sense of wonder, starting always, with my own.”

Ryan Heflin began honing his craft and finding his voice as clifftop, oceanside Gatsby of The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel; enthroned and enthralled as their in-house musician for 8 memoir-worthy years. A luxurious perch that would lead to many adventures playing high-end weddings and corporate events in picturesque places.

With the stirrings of the soul loud, wailing without compromise, Ryan has given himself over fully to writing, recording, and performing his soulful, iconoclastic, singer-songwriter words, set to dark, hurts-so-good indie rock vibrations.

The debut album  ’Where Does the Wonder Go?’ shows us the start of something un-usual and wonder-full:

Powerfully reflective and contemplative, with layers to be burned and undressed slowly, finding passionate expression in the extra-ordinary themes of childhood, nature, the wonder of existence, the beauty and tragedy of the human condition, and a healthy subversion of societal norms.

Both sensual and intellectual, metaphysical and deeply human, the music of Ryan Heflin takes us beyond the prosaic and back into life as poetry.
