Midnight In A Perfect World: Ryan Hemsworth Canadian artist Ryan Hemsworth is a chameleonic figure in the music world, equally adept at producing club bangers, emotional ballads, and charming indie folk music. Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Ryan emerged as an innovative producer in the early 2010s with a unique cinematic sound that blurred the boundaries between hip-hop, electronic, R&B, and progressive club styles. His first proper solo album Guilt Trips came out in 2013 and won the Juno Award the following year for Electronic Album Of The Year. Since then he's gone on to release two additional albums, numerous EPs and mixtapes, and he's also consistently showcased his infectious collaborative spirit, producing tracks for a wide array of artists ranging from Mitski to E-40, and launching his own label Secret Songs to provide a platform for emerging new artists. Ryan continued to expand his resume in 2020 with his signing to beloved indie label Saddle Creek Records for the launch of Quarter-Life Crisis, a new project that taps into his love of emotional indie pop and indie folk music. Quarter-Life Crisis' self-titled debut release came out in early December 2020 and featured appearances by Hand Habits, Yohuna, Claud, Hop Along's Frances Quinlan, and Hovvdy's Charlie Martin.
