Ryla McLane

Ryla McLane makes music for the parts of yourself you haven't figured out how to say out loud yet.

An alternative-soul artist with a sound that lives somewhere between ethereal and otherworldly mixed with the nostalgia of the 90's. Giving an edge to her sound and style that almost feels familiar yet against the grain. Her sound moves between worlds — something delicate, almost weightless, until it isn't; a voice that can hold a whisper and then fracture open into something that fills the whole room.

What sets her apart is what she's willing to go into. Her lyrics map the emotional unconscious world we all experience blended with the highs and lows of the exterior world — specifying moments that give words and music to the feelings we have all felt but may have been hard to articulate. She taps into the emotional weight of healing, the fingerprints that family, love, and loss leave on who we become. She writes for the version of you still in the middle of it.
