Rye Turner

(American rapper/Singer)

Turner was born Ryan Turner 16th November 1993 in Springfield Missouri, is an American underground hip hop and R&B artist

throughout his childhood his family and people around calls him Rye and that's how he grew up with it. Rye said "the only time that my mom or anybody had called me by my birth name was if I was in trouble or had done something really screwed up"

Rye has always had an aptitude for music, he started getting the passion at about eight years old and he got gifted a guitar by his sister‘s friend on his eight birthday. Rye mentioned he didn’t really have a lot of friends as he was a pretty isolated kid and had behavioral issues, this forced most kids to reject him and he got bullied a lot so he was sheltered by his mom. Rye was in a pretty dark place until he was given that guitar and that was when the art of music started to pop as he began to learn more techniques with it at about 14 he started learning how to sing and form rhymes and flows into a few different patterns he joined a band called breaching autumn which broke up when he 16.

INFLUENCES At the age of 18 he was still looking to know what genre fits him best and tried alternative type stuff. Rue said he eventually found himself being more influenced by hip-hop. "I’ve always had a deep rooted love for hip-hop music and R&B I was always highly inspired by 2Pac, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Eminem and then I discovered Juice WRLD and began to really see that I could talk about my suppressed emotions in my music without having to feel embarrassed". Rye said Juice WRLD influences his style more.

HIS ART Rye has a unique style of rap and can switch up and flow to any beat at anytime. He raps about real life situations, so he can tell a story through his music for people to relate to. He trained himself to flow smoothly with all genres by blending melodies and rhythms together he layers them perfectly throughout each of his pieces. He also finds a way to balance out the intricacies and simplistic aspects of his music very well.

In 2019 he started writing hip-hop and alternative hip-hop songs by 2021 he had released his first album and a couple singles which were a bunch of freestyles essentially. Right now he is focusing more on the actual writing side and structural side of his music and the emotion that he puts behind it, he said it’s actually starting to transcend into something he can be proud of ever since he was a little kid he wanted to be a musician and make living. He said "for me it’s more about the meaning behind the music and getting the thoughts and the emotions out as a vent and hopefully somebody hears my music and has felt the same way and my music can help them as it helps me honestly if it wasn’t for music I don’t think I would be here"

Rye remains independent as he values his own creative control and would want to be somewhere his music and art will be appreciated for wht it is. Rye said "I always have that drive to make it to the top because someone once told me that if you enjoy what you do you’ll never work a day in your life"

AIM He aims to inspire and influence people through his music. To break boundaries and work with different artists to create masterpiece also to be remembered as one of the best".

"I was bred for a purpose, maybe I’m crazy if so I don’t think I’d ever really want to be sane to be honest"
