About

Ryan Fine is a Nashville based piano singer-songwriter inspired by Billy Joel and Ben Folds.

Originally from Cincinnati, he studied Commercial Music Production at the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music (Jazz Studies Department). While in school, Ryan performed with 9 other classmates in a group called Ryan Fine & the Media. They built a local fanbase playing shows at The Woodward Theater, MOTR Pub, Urban Artifact, and the 2016 MidPoint Music Festival. The band amicably parted ways upon graduation and Ryan’s move to Nashville in 2017.

Ryan Fine has released 2 albums, an EP, and a handful of singles totaling over 2.5 million streams on Spotify. He is currently recording an EP to be released later this year (2026) entitled “It’s the People, Not the Things” focusing on more mature themes like embracing imperfection, having gratitude in hard times, and giving yourself grace.

As a songwriter, he has had his songs placed in TV/Film (NBC, PureFlix) and recorded by other artists.

In both 2019 & 2020, Ryan was voted Best Instrumentalist (Reader’s Poll) over names like Keith Urban and Ben Folds. He also performs for private events at many spaces throughout Nashville.

When the COVID lockdown occurred, he started a custom songwriting business called Fine-Tuned Custom Songs. The business got excellent press from Nashville and Cincinnati news outlets to get him started. He has written over one thousand custom songs since including company jingles, 2 Shakespeare musical adaptations that have been performed by multiple high schools, short film cues, and podcast theme songs. 

Ryan Fine has had the honor of playing his originals at The Listening Room multiple times and performs regularly at writer’s rounds with the Nashville Tour Stop.
