singer songwriter

Ryan Hill was born and raised in outside of the rural community of Spring Hill, Kansas, 30 minutes from Kansas City. When not playing baseball, or basketball, Ryan learned to play piano and spent hours singing to the radio, trying to make his voice match what he heard on the other end. College gave Ryan the opportunity to further explore his love for music. Through a scholarship to Ottawa University, where he played baseball, as well as sang in the University Choir, Ryan expanded his vocal skill and range, training in opera.
