Ryat is a cutting edge multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer from Philadelphia, PA. She has toured all over the world, collaborating live with some of the worlds top musical artists of our time, including Billy Martin, Calvin G. Weston, Mike Dillon, King Britt, DJ Logic, Taylor McFerrin and Skerik. Her intuitive artistic drive towards Instrumental Art has also brought her into a visual realm collaborating with multi-media artists, choreographers, film makers, live painters and interactive-video artists. In 2008 she was asked to score a live improvisational piece to a feature film for the Philadelphia Film Societies Annual Producer and Directors event. As of late, she has been doing electronic music seminars at centers like The Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia. With her live performances, she is known for her wide vocal range, unique powerful tone and words, her improvisational techniques and her usage of live instrumental looping and effects. In the studio, she is appraised for her innovative arrangements with multi-time signatures and her fresh outlook on evolving sound styles. She was endorsed by Reason software in 2008 to experiment with all of their newest products for her latest record entitled "Street Noise Orkestra." Compared to artist like Bjork and Thom Yorke, this young lady will be yet another sonic innovator for years to come.
Recently Ryat's ever evolving band consists of many world class musicians such as multi instrumentalist/composer Tim Conley, (who has shared stages with artists such as Flaming Lips, Mike Gordon(phish), Bernie Worrell and Mike Watt). When touring with more than just a duo, Ryat brings along many special guests including drummer Mark Guiliana, (who was cited in Modern Drummer 2007 readers poll as "one of the best up-and-coming stars of today's drumming scene,") Jason Fraticelli, (bass player has toured with Matisyahu and Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey) and Chris Wood (of Grimace Federation).
