Ryan Harris

Sometimes things just don't turn out as expected. Canadian filmmaker Ryan Harris quit his studies and set out into the wilderness with his brother to document the beauty of nature. His guitar was, of course, part of the outdoor gear. Whenever the right soundtrack was needed, Ryan usually just grabbed his six-string – and things just went from there: the filmmaker turned into a folk musician who clocked up 90 million streams on Spotify in an instant. He's opened concerts by Ocie Elliot and now headlines his own shows in Canada and Europe. His cinematic output can be marveled at on YouTube: the imagery is underscored by his own sound, music just teeming with the joy of life.
