Ryanito was born in Germantown, Maryland and is the youngest of two boys. He discovered his ability to sing at a young age and began writing his own poetry, and later started producing songs and rapping lyrics.
At age sixteen his father moved to Florida and he remained in Maryland where his street education began. Recognizing the elements of danger, Ryanito changed his focus and pursued music. He moved to Florida at twenty-one for a new location, perspective and outlook as he became receptive to the Sarasota music scene. He began performing and networking where he would meet several people that have helped him in his musical career.
Ryanito hosted a talk radio show and created events using art and music to learn about and inspire people. He worked within the community of Sarasota by hosting his radio show Coffee & Donuts for WSRQ & WSLR radio stations interviewing diverse members of the community through exploring many topics through conversation.
