| John's interest in music started in his early childhood, listening and learning to appreciate music in every form and style. A self taught guitar and electric bass player with an extraordinary musical ear. He soon found that the technical aspect of music reproduction was what would have led him to his present and successful career, first by mixing for local bands in clubs and after, for 9 years, in one of Italy's leading recording studios. After a long time sitting behind a studio mixer, he naturally went back to his initial interest; live sound mixing. | ||||||||||||||

John Ryan is 100% fluent in Italian and English, being born in 1956 from father from New York and mother from Naples, Italy. His interest in music started as a child, learning to appreciate it in every form and style. He learned to play guitar and then electric bass until he started showing interest in the technical aspects of music reproduction, first as sound mixer in small music clubs in his city, then eventually in a professional recording studio. Finally, he ended up discovering that the “live” scene was his real mission, working with professionals from all over the world. After graduating at Forrest Sherman High School , Naples Italy, in 1975 and after having worked with his father in the editorial business, he made a living working as sales representative for Harman Kardon and JBL for the NATO market in Naples. After two years he accepted to go on tour with Pino Daniele, pop artist who was just starting his way up the ladder, soon to be onw of Italy’s top selling productions still today. After almost one year of touring, John decided to explore the professional audio field a bit more and enrolled at The Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, Ohio, graduating with an average rating of 99.9% for the November 1980 courses. In 1992 he started a long experience as Chief Sound Engineer at Executive Studios in Naples, recording and mixing some of the artists that he will also find in the future, in live events and tours. John is well known and respected among the many Italian audio hire companies and productions he has had the fortune to work with. The most recent, Lombardi Service in Termoli, is one of the most important and equipped hire companies at the moment. John contributed to the popularity of this company by suggesting to try the Adamson Audio brand products, believing that this would have been a turning point for their business and as it turned out, Lombardi Service is now the largest Adamson Y-Axis supplier in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. The advent of digital mixers has always intrigued John, a fond user of analog equipment, but he happily discovered the potential and practical side of mixers such as the Yamaha PM1D and PM5DRH, on which John is perfectly at home, being able to express his sound mixing needs completely. |
