Full Biography
Jacob is a passionate and versatile pianist who loves to play his own arrangements of everything from Jazz Standards right through to Modern Day Pop Hits.
He has been performing professionally for 15 years as a pianist, band member and session musician, which has taken him as far as Singapore, Norway and Spain.
Jacob's real talent lies in creating exactly the right ambience for each event by selecting a setlist to suit from his extensive repertoire, whether that be a wedding reception or a corporate dinner; he brings a touch of class.
Jacob has found that the events his performances work best at are ceremonies (church & civil), drinks receptions, dinners and house parties. He is willing to learn any song should he not already know it in order to add that personalised feel to an event. At no extra cost, he also advises clients if they need help choosing songs for their special occasion (such as wedding entrance, first dance etc).
Jacob gives 110% at every gig. A true professional with a real passion for live music, Jacob will work closely with you to ensure your event is given the perfect musical treatment!

Jacob was a complete professional
Robyn B booked Jacob Ryan for their Wedding • June 2023
“We booked Jacob for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in June 2023. Jacob was a complete professional and so easy to communicate with and plan our day, especially when working with our celebrant on our ceremony plan. He was very accommodating on our song choices and prioritized our favourite songs for when we joined our drinks reception. I would highly recommend Jacob.”
I cannot recommend highly enough.
Dean booked Jacob Ryan for their event • June 2023
“My now husband and I hired Jacob to play at our Wedding Ceremony and Reception. :) Getting straight to the point, he was absolutely amazing! Even with everything else going on throughout the day, we and all our guests, found a moment just to step back, listen and realize how brilliant he is. He played some of our favourite pieces during the ceremony, making the experience extra special. At this point, I’ve lost count of the number of guests who came up to me afterwards specifically just to compliment him to us. Honestly, I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much for being part of our big day!”
