Ryan Allen, otherwise known as Wlav, is an indie-electronic artist from the mountains of North Carolina. He prides himself on DIY production and works out of his own bedroom-made-home studio as a fully independent artist.
Ryan got his start in music by producing DJ mixes for fans of his tumblr (whitelinesandversace), where he built a following after several viral posts. Fall 2016 saw the release of his debut album ‘1001.’
2017 was a very busy year for Ryan as he worked hard to evolve his sound and incorporate vocals into his tracks. Before the end of the year he had released two singles, Gold and Wasting My Time, both featured on his Honors EP.
His next EP ‘Anxiety & Apathy” is scheduled for July 31, 2019. The lead single off of it ‘Welcome to the Feature’ was released earlier in the year & found success getting featured in a fashion film directed by J. J. Battista, featuring clothes by designer Joshua Mudgett.
