Lion O. King
My name is Lion O. King. I'm a musician. I'm not afraid of anything. Some people say I've got character. Well, I won't deny it.

I care about people. And I'm making music to make a difference. I also want to buy my momma a big fat Jaguar. 

I was born in Ethiopia in '89. It's dubbed the country of the thirteen months of sunshine. 

Nowadays I live in Berlin, the capital of Europe. But America, I'm coming for you.

Music is really important. It's a solace. People do not judge when they listen to it. They just listen and feel.

Unless it's shitty. Let's make music of good quality!

Joey Ryan
Irish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Joey Ryan has been performing and writing music for the last decade. Currently based in Berlin, Germany, Ryan has spent the last year finishing off his second record of original material with producer Christian Best (Mick Flannery, O Emperor). The release of the album in Ireland was met with great reviews and radio support for lead single 'Tenderly', which was featured on such stations as Radio Nova, RTE Radio One, Cork's Red FM, South East Radio, Roddie Cleeres Irish Music Show, Beat FM, KCLR, iRadio Ireland and Northern Sound. 

The new album ‘Fall Through the Night’ will be released in Germany in February 2017, with a nationwide German tour to follow in support. 

Originally hailing from Wexford, Ireland Ryan has always found himself drawn to music. Picking up guitar at the age of seven, Ryan was brought up on a diet of Dylan, Springsteen, Billy Joel and Nina Simone to name a few from his parents collection which were always playing in the home.

At twenty years of age, Ryan self released his first album Morning Will Come Soon in 2012 to great acclaim. The following year was spent touring Ireland in support of this album which saw support slots to artists such as Jack L, Mick Flannery and Duke Special. Following on with the success of this campaign, The Redefine EP was released in 2014 under the guise of The Joey Ryan Trio. Lead single Stay Strong was released to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Ireland, and topped the iTunes Rock chart on the first day of its release. Not one to sit around, the Joey Ryan Trio did an extensive tour of Ireland in support of this single which included a support slot with internationally acclaimed band Bastille in Debarras Folkclub. 

Ryan’s sound could be best described as having an atmospheric rock based aesthetic, whilst also incorporating acoustic tones. Ryan writes his guitar orientated music drawing from his influences which range from Springsteen to The National, Ryan Adams to Jeff Buckely and Tom Waits to Bon Iver. The last five years have seen Ryan broaden his touring circuit into Europe, with four tours of Germany completed in the last two years alone, as well as tours in the UK, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.
Currently having relocated to Berlin, Ryan will be spending much of the next year touring in support of Fall Through the Night before releasing an EP in 2017.
