Who am I?
Where am I from?
I was born and raised in Grand Junction, CO. I've lived in Denver, CO since 2021 and will be moving to Katy, TX in Fall 2024.
What do I do?
Music Production means I know how to write, record, mix, and master a song/album for commercial release. This gives me an amazing skillset to create your next Winter Guard Show Soundtrack!
Performing and working with The Blue Knights provided me a true understanding of the marching arts. I use my World Class experience to provide educational, logistical, musical, and visual expertise. Whether teching, consulting, or coordinating I want to help bring the best out of your program.
My name is Ryan Merlino! I'm an Independent Music Producer and Marching Arts Educator looking to bring my fun, upbeat personality and professional capabilities to your marching arts program.
