Hip-Hop producer Ryan Metcalfe is currently making a charge on the production field of the rap game.

Metcalfe grew up with a wide range of musical interests, but says some of his biggest influences include, Biggie, Gang Starr and Eminem. It was back in his high school years when Metcalfe discovered the Southern Hip Hop scene and years later a southern trap music style can be found in much of his work.

Raised in Ajax, Ontario, Canada and while still attending High School, he found himself confined to the house after breaking his ankle. That’s when it all started for him. With boredom consuming his mind he came across a video of Soulja Boy creating beats. He immediately downloaded the software used in the video and began a journey that would change his career path. Completely self taught, Metcalfe would recreate popular songs to perfect his craft.

Metcalfe attended the same high school as notable Canadian Hip-Hop and R&B producers T-Minus and Boi1da. Metcalfe was awarded the Matthew Samuels (Boi1da) Award for pursuing a career in music.

NEW RELEASE

During the summer of 2012 Metcalfe began a YouTube project called Metcalfe Music Mondays in which he released a new beat every Monday. The channel quickly gained new subscribers and garnered over 25,000 views in it’s first month. That same summer he won the Funk Volume Producer Contest and competed in the Battle of the Beat Makers.

Towards the end of 2012 Metcalfe signed with 90Nickel Entertainment, owned and operated by artist Peter Jackson. Metcalfe produced two songs on Jackson’s latest release #Fresh Start and the two are currently collaborating on tracks set to be released as part of Jackson’s Good Company Mixtape. Metcalfe is also working on projects with his predecessor Boi1da and other major industry artists.
