About

California native, Ryan Lum, has been writing music since he first convinced his parents to buy him a guitar at the age of 9 in the late 1970′s. Forward to 1991, Ryan teamed with girlfriend-turned-vocalist, Suzanne Perry, and Love Spirals Downwards were born. In 1992, independent label Projekt Records released the duo’s debut album Idylls, which was an instant underground success. This was followed up by 3 more 10,000+ selling albums, and concluded with the career retrospective, Temporal: A Collection of Music Past & Present, in 2000.

2008 marked the 10 year anniversary of the creative union of Ryan Lum and Anji Bee — known to the world collectively as Lovespirals. Their musical journey began as Lum was promoting his 4th and final studio album as Love Spirals Downwards in 1998. Bee, an aspiring vocalist and college radio DJ, assisted Lum in those promotions and offered her vocal services for a new musical project he had in mind. Since then, Lovespirals have released 4 albums and continue their collaborations together for more in the 2010′s.

Ryan has been interviewed and featured by many popular music magazines over the years, including Keyboard, B-Sides, and Acoustic Guitar. A fairly comprehensive archive of print interviews is included at lovespiralsdownwards.com, and a great collection of quotes is availalbe on wikiquote.com.
