Can't Find My Way Home...

"That's pretty much me in a nutshell...Irish. Living in Berlin. Musician" S2 EP15 with Joey Ryan


Listen Later

In this episode of Can't Find My Way Home, I was joined by Joey Ryan.

Originally from Wexford, Ireland and has been living in Berlin since 2016

Joey takes through his musical journey, from first picking up the guitar at age 7 (he’s now 29), his wide array of musical influences, the early band days at high school, and the transition to solo performer/singer-songwriter.

After releasing a couple of albums and the subsequent move to Germany, Joey felt like he’d lost something in the music he was making and wanted to branch out creatively. His new sound was based on the influences and the music that he was listening to at that time and ORIAN was born.

We get into the recording process for the EP (Before it Weighs Us Down), collaborations, the crisp and cinematic sound that Joey was looking for (I think he found it), live drums versus programmed drums, and why Joey’s happier to explore the more softer, indie side of things, and why he prefers performing with the electric and not the acoustic guitar primarily.

There’s talk of getting back on stage this year, performing on RadioEins, touring in Germany, as well as some of the similarities and differences to playing in Ireland and Germany.

In the Top 5, there’s Billie Eilish and the power of social media, Phoebe Bridgers, smashing guitars, not getting Neil Young (but in a good way), Bon Jovi, Backstreet Boys, the Tempodrom in Berlin, and why you won’t find a capo in his guitar case…
