  • Ryan Guldemond is the lead singer and songwriter of the Canadian indie rock band Mother Mother that was formed in tandem with his sister Molly in 2005. His lyrics centre around candid descriptive experiences of love, family, and self-discovery. During the writing of the band’s second album No Culture, Ryan went through a transformative time of reinvention, partially inspired by Molly and the nostalgia spurred by writing in his hometown. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Ryan is such a kind person. Despite how serious and ominous he looks at times, he is such a sweet person who deserves every bit of fame. Even more than that. I used to think he was a girl before fully getting into the band XD But he is still beautiful, talented and my main inspiration for trying to create my own band. Praise our lord and savior: Ryan Guldemond XDD

      Ya this dude is an amazing person. I was heading to one of his shows and saw him sitting at a table and totally interrupted his interview to say I was a huge fan and he was so chill about it. After he was done with his interview he found me in line pulled me aside had a full on conversation and I got a picture with him. I'll never forget that

    • @itskitkat1212
      @itskitkat1212 Před 3 lety +8

    Thanks so much, Ryan, for the window into your creative process. The acceptance of our influences in whatever form they come from is so important. I think it's what separates a creative person from those who don't allow or acknowledge it, which is a pity because we won't ever experience their art.
