Ryan Van Slooten

Minneapolis based artist Ryan Van Slooten is what you might call the ultimate independent DIY musician. After releasing his third solo album in 2013, the award winning "Victory March" (2013 Album of the Year, PerfectDuluthDay.com), he was unsure what the next step would be. Having relocated from Duluth to the Twin Cities after 16 years there, that same year, he decided it was time to finally take over all recording and producing duties in his home studio.
