Ry Taylor has been playing music for family and friends since he was 10 years old, a gift from his father, well-known northern New Mexico singer Rod Taylor. Today he continues to play for the public, composing his own songs as well as offering the well-known songs of his generation.

Ry was born and raised on Philmont Boy Scout Ranch in Cimarron, NM.  He attended South Plains College in Levelland, TX and received certificates in commercial music, live sound, and studio technician.  He has been playing music professionally since he was 15, in the Enchanted Circle as well as neighboring states such as Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas
