Ryli is a solo indie artist who writes and records her own music. Her languid dreampop defies the traditional singer-songwriter category, inviting comparisons to the new generation of shoegazey femmes such as Amiina and Hope Sandoval.

Ryli recorded all of the songs on her demo album in the comfort of her own home. While Ryli enjoys her recording hobby, the demo is being released in an effort to gain attention from an organization that would like to help in producing, recording and distributing a future full-length album.

If you'd like to get in touch with Ryli regarding a possible record contract, please send her an e-mail.

A Big Thanks for a Shining Review

The Girls Are Logo

I'm very happy to report that I received a shining review from Annette Barlow of "The Girls Are", yesterday. I've been consistently reading this blog for a while now, and have made a slew of great musical discoveries there. I'm horribly impressed with Annette's writing style and her sense of musical taste. Needless to say, I am entirely honored to have a great review alongside so many admirable artists, from an equally admirable music critic. Please help me show our gratitude by reading the review and leaving a comment. Don't forget to check out the other great reviews while you're at it!

Say Hello to Tracy, Folks

Tracy Hipner - Ryli's Band Manager

There has been a very recent addition to the Ryli team: Tracy Hipner has bravely assumed the role of my band manager. From now on, she will help me keep up with all of my press contacts, social networks, booking schedule, and on the list goes. Acquiring a band manager feels weird to me since I've always been the only person involved in Ryli business, but its also a huge relief. With Tracy helping me keep on top of the business side of things, I can concentrate on writing new music and preparing for live shows. If you'd like to contact Tracy to discuss any business involving Ryli or if you just want to tell her how lovely she looks in her headshot photo, feel free to send her an e-mail.

About Ryli

Photo of Ryli

Ryli has been writing and recording her own music since the tender age of 19. A self-taught musician and web designer, she became interested in producing her own music after spending her teenage years playing in punk bands. A Missouri native, Ryli has spent time in varied places as Mexico, Seattle, and Louisville, Kentucky, before alighting in northern Spain, where she currently resides. These far-flung places have influenced her personal life and her work. Not only does she write and record her own music, but she plays all the instruments on each carefully crafted song. Her languid dreampop defies the traditional singer-songwriter category, inviting comparisons to the new generation of shoegazey femmes such as Amiina and Hope Sandoval.
