My name is Ryan Colton and I am a musician, singer/songwriter, recording/mix engineer, and producer living in Richmond, VA. I have been recording bands as well as my own music since I was 18 and hold a certification in Music Recording Technology from JSRCC. I interned at PK Studios in Richmond, VA from 1999-2000 and worked with a variety of clients. I co-owned and operated Spilling Sounds Producti
ons, a small project studio in Richmond’s West End from 2000-2004 and recorded several local and regional bands encompassing genres such as rock, metal, punk, singer/songwriter, gospel, folk, and bluegrass. I love recording bands and helping to shape musical ideas into well-crafted songs. I am also an avid guitarist and write and record my own solo material and also play in a local band that performs covers and originals called The New Outliers. I started Distilled Sounds when I was asked to record the New Outliers LP, Begin the Everything in fall of 2014. My home studio is primarily setup for mixing and mastering but I can also record vocal and guitar overdubs there as well. My services include remote recording, mixing, and mastering, Please contact me to discuss your recording project needs and ask about my package rates.
