Myspace BackgroundsBorn Ryan Michael Moore in Atlantic City on May 6th 1978....RiYeN RoOtS (a.k.a.RiYeN MiChAeL or Mr.ManyHats,You can call him whatever you want to, he says.) Has been singing and playing music since the age 3. He would like to be seen in the book of life as an artist first and foremost who expressed his passions for the state of those around him on this planet by way of MUSIC+THE WRITTEN WORD, the most powerful mediums of his time.A lover of the old ways .LESS IS MORE!!!!A man who paid his dues to play his blues !!!A friend to all who fight for Freedom and the pursuit of Truth.A man who was not afraid to stand up for those he loved(everyone).A singer/songwriter who could play any style he felt like without rules.A musician that could play anywhere and still make 'em move their feet.And a man who gave all he had mind, body, and spirit to a world in need ."THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MOST PEOPLE IS THE DISTANCE THAT DIVIDES THEM" RiYeN RoOtS ...........RiYeN RoOtS music may very well be what this world needs right now. He gives raw uncut truth through his music, time and time again. He invites us to take a look at ourselves and the everchanging world around us And for this alone we will continue to seek out the pearls of wisdom and insight along our way through space and time.With a talent for writing in a prophetic state of consiousness,and a truely unique sence of melody and rhythm. Following in the footsteps of those who have found a way to change the way society thinks about topical issues touching on PEACE,LOVE,FREEDOM,EQUALITY,AND THE PURSUIT OF SELF ENLIGHTENMENT,AND THEM GOOD OLD BLUES WE ALL FEEL FROM TIME TO TIME.RiYeN RoOtS can cover a wide variety of musical genres in any given song. with influences that include. PRE-WAR BLUES TUNES,SOUL,FUNK,HIP-HOP, TO REGGAE,SKA,DUB,AND EVEN SOME OLD TIMEY COUNTRY/FOLK SONGS .........COVERING THE ROOTS AND THE FRUITS. Can all be heard though his " Music channeling from the roots to the fruits.....My music is me,and I am my music ."
