About

Relocating from Los Angeles to Nashville in early 2015, Ryan took residence at House of Blues Studios in Berry Hill and jumped into a non-stop string of records. In between mixing albums for The Avett Brothers, Third Eye Blind, Sean McConnell, and Harry Connick, Jr., Ryan produced and mixed up-and-coming Georgia rockers, Crass Mammoth, and Knoxville troubadours, The Black Lillies. He spent the end of the summer recording and mixing The Lumineers’ new album with producer Simone Felice in upstate New York.

Ryan found his love for music and recording working along side his father, famed remote recording engineer David Hewitt. Traveling around the world recording live albums and providing broadcast audio for an incredible array of artists, Ryan spent his youth in small clubs, massive arenas and every type of venue in between. As a result of these experiences, he developed a work ethic and preparedness seldom seen among studio recording engineers because on the road, there’s only one chance to get it right.

After earning a degree in Electrical Engineering and running the campus sound company at Tufts University in Boston, Ryan moved to New York City to work at Sony Music Studios. Opportunities then took Ryan to Los Angeles, landing him at Cello Studios (now EastWest Studios), where he began working with The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rick Rubin. Striking up a close working relationship with guitarist John Frusciante, Ryan recorded and mixed eight solo albums with him. This led to Ryan engineering and mixing their multiple-Grammy-winning double album, Stadium Arcadium. Rick and Ryan have continued to work together on a number of projects with artists such as Angus and Julia Stone, Brandi Carlile, Lady Gaga and Johnny Cash, as well as three albums and two live DVDs for The Avett Brothers.
