Singer, Songwriter, Friend

Ryan Teich is a Chicago based Integration Consultant working with the greatest (he’s biased) coworkers, partners, and customers in the world. Ryan earned his BSE in Industrial & Operations Engineering at The University of Michigan College of Engineering, studying under some of the finest minds engineering academia has to offer. He’s privileged to put the skills he learned to work by developing refined data integration solutions. 

Wait wait wait…can we back up? Doesn’t the heading say singer, songwriter, friend?

Ahhhh, yes, let’s discuss that.

At a young age in Southern Illinois, Ryan Teich was caught red-handed. His sister walked into the kitchen of their family’s home to find Ryan matching pitch with a steaming tea kettle.  She may not have known at the time, but Ryan’s sister had stumbled upon the origin of a blossoming love. Pitches quickly turned to melodies and melodies to harmonies. Singing turned to piano and piano to guitar. Like fate locked romantics, the ambitious lad and music were inseparable, ever increasing in depth and beauty. 

Ryan honed his skills as a singer and guitarist both on the risers of school choir and in humility before church pews. Gleaning much from a setting where the air is filled by collective voices, his style is markedly accessible and relatable. Combining themes of his youth surrounded by cornfields, later sandy Michigan beaches, and now the bustling city, his lyrics paint a dynamic range of perspectives.
