Join us for the live release of Ryan Manalili's new EP - HALF FULL with a live band. Ryan uses R&B vocals with an experimental indie sound.

I chose “HALF FULL” for the name of the EP because at the time I started putting together the record I was experiencing a lot of loss and grief. This feeling of excess weight that I felt I needed to pour out in order to feel back to “normal” again. Realizing that the weight will always be there, it was just about learning to embrace it and learn how to deal with it. I looked at it like it was a glass overflowing with water, and the water needed to be poured out over time.

I asked two artists join me for this show, Nino and GONE. Both of which saw this project from the beginning to the end. The music they make/play compliment the theme of the record which is just a plus.
