Born in Cebu, Philippines, but moved over to the United States at a young age, Ryan Velvet has been making music since being left to his own devices at 12 years old while rooted in Baltimore, Maryland. He began learning FL Studio and gradually figured out how to make beats, and recorded raps over them, being inspired by MF DOOM, Kanye West, and Odd Future.
Following a visit to New York City, a love for Punk Rock was ignited, and after having been uprooted to Texas for high school, Ryan Velvet picked up the guitar. He learned how to play, and write songs based on, the likes of Bad Brains and Black Flag but with the melodic pop flair of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Along the way, he figured out how to record guitars, bass, and drums, and quickly amassed an extensive repertoire of demos with an eclectic array of styles.
Since then, Ryan Velvet has since released two albums, 'Noise Noise Noise' and 'Modern Teenage Insect' (2019) alongside an EP and a Mini-LP such as 'Go Forth, Eerie Spirits!' (2020) and 'Waiting For...' (2021).
For 2022, Ryan Velvet has been continuously releasing music, such as the monthly instrumental-focused 'Here Are the Beats!' series, and a string of singles throughout the year, culminating in releasing the experimental hip-hop album, 'AREYOUOKAY?'.
He also livestreams often on Twitch, produces video content on YouTube and TikTok, as well as writes in third person on occasion.

Constant Reminders
Ryan Velvet Lyrics
Constant reminders put me back
Saturday nights spent all sad
Why is it that you still live on
In my mind?
Everything you talked about
Seems to appear without a doubt
Standing here wishing I could
Rewind time
I never meant anything I said
That might have hurt you
Knowing that you are better off
Is a fitting punishment
With only the best intentions
I wasn't worthy of your affection
Everybody's short of perfection
But in my eyes you were the closest to it
That's why I was hurting so much
Jealousy became a monster in me
That's why I had to distance myself
Because I couldn't live through the hurt again
Fell in love with your works of art
And that was including you
Enchanted, enamored with who you are
Is a knife right through my heart
Cause everything reminds me of you
(That I once knew)
Well I guess that it goes to show
What a pathetic loser I am
Being unable to cope with the
Consequences; that I can't
Live with, even a few months later
I wish that my feelings would peter
Even if we spoke again
I broke the branches that fell in hand
But I never meant anything I said
That might have hurt you
Knowing that you are better off
Is a fitting punishment
Cause everything reminds me of you
(That I once knew)
Cause everything reminds me of you
(That I once knew)
Saturday nights spent all sad
Why is it that you still live on
In my mind?
Everything you talked about
Seems to appear without a doubt
Standing here wishing I could
Rewind time
I never meant anything I said
Knowing that you are better off
Is a fitting punishment
With only the best intentions
I wasn't worthy of your affection
Everybody's short of perfection
But in my eyes you were the closest to it
That's why I was hurting so much
Jealousy became a monster in me
That's why I had to distance myself
Because I couldn't live through the hurt again
Fell in love with your works of art
And that was including you
Enchanted, enamored with who you are
Is a knife right through my heart
Cause everything reminds me of you
(That I once knew)
Well I guess that it goes to show
What a pathetic loser I am
Being unable to cope with the
Consequences; that I can't
Live with, even a few months later
I wish that my feelings would peter
Even if we spoke again
I broke the branches that fell in hand
But I never meant anything I said
That might have hurt you
Knowing that you are better off
Is a fitting punishment
Cause everything reminds me of you
(That I once knew)
Cause everything reminds me of you
(That I once knew)
