Ryan Seay came up as a classical musician — trained on trombone at the Curtis Institute of Music, one of the most selective conservatories in the world. He toured. He performed. He spent years learning what it means to listen at the highest level. Then electronic music got hold of him, and all that training found a new purpose.
As One U, he built a catalog of original productions that earned him placements on Netflix series and independent films, and a live reputation that put him on the same bills as James Hype, San Holo, Cash Cash, Habstrakt, and Pathwey.
Inspired by artists such as Ben Bohmer, Deadmau5, Tinlicker, Lane 8, and similar melodic/progressive house producers, One U creates a beautiful and expressive sound, with an honest approach… to transmit a vibration of love, joy, and connectedness to those around you. There is only One Universal consciousness that we all share. There is only One Unique person that is U, and if you try to change yourself to be like anyone else, U rob us all of the unique essence of U in this web of connection of which we are all a part. One U creates curated musical journeys that take the listener through beautiful moments of joy and connectedness, so that by the end we all really truly feel as One.
After a few years away — navigating a move, a reinvention, and finding love in the process — One U is back in Austin with more clarity and more to say. The gap was full of material. All of it is in the music now.
