Thomas Ryan burst into the scene with his deep-driven passion to share his love for music with others. Specializing in driving rhythms, pulsing tribal beats, and soulful vocal house, his versatility definitely doesn't stop there -- Ryan is rewarded by working hard to earn the respect of fans from all walks of life.

"I'm just a conductor" he explains. "Music is an undeniably strong force. I simply guide each person on the dance floor on their own journey, with my artistic influence. It is an honor and so rewarding to be able to bring all sorts of different people together, all at the same time, help them set aside their cares, and to invoke music's energy and emotions, uniquely within each of them."

An only child born to a single mother, Ryan gains his self-discipline all on his own. From a young age, his father immersed him in all genres of music, from rock to house, classical to acid jazz, minimalistic to avante-garde, and well beyond. Little did little Ryan know he'd keep all this unknown love for music confined for so long only to unleash his locked-up passion on others many years later.

Ryan met his calling and inspiration while frequenting a regular local event, while he watched in amazement the headliner, the one and only miss Kimberly S, conducting a sea of bodies all gyrating to her tunes, and spoke with her after. The bug bit 'im, and something was now in his blood. After learning to perfect his passion under the wing of mentor and great friend Larry, they are now fellow weekend residents together at The Saloon (Minneapolis). "Obviously, this was meant to be" he says. "But I'll never stop learning -- nor loving every minute of my job."

His ultimate goal? Travel the world, spinning his ass off all along the way.
