Aulasy

Ryan J. Wagner is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer who performs under different monikers. His initialed name "RJW" focuses on indie rock and acoustic performances. His production moniker is called "Aulasy" and is more electro dance oriented. His alternative rock band is called "Makadu." Originally from Monument, Colorado, he has been writing songs and playing guitar since he was nine years old. Through the joy and therapy he found through music growing up, he managed to be in several rock bands over the years and has toured nationally, but loves to play local Denver venues like Lost Lake, Larimer Lounge, Black Buzzard, etc. When he's not performing in a band he enjoys taking his songwriting tactics into his own realm and producing his own tracks. Starting in his early college years he dabbled with digital audio workstations such as Ableton in order to get the ideas in his head into a consumable format. His tracks have been described as catchy, funky, indie rock and continues to progress with ear-tickling melodies. The tracks range with a variety of guitars, keys, synths, bass, and drum tones that mesh with his vocal riffs and diverse lyrics. He is able to perform acoustically with a focus on his singing and songwriting; electrically with his produced track and live looping which focuses more on grooves and guitar solos; and with his band Makadu which is upbeat alt-rock mixed with funk and a side dish of angst.
