Sleeping At Last – will play Dublin’s National Concert Hall next June

Sleeping At Last is the moniker of singer-songwriter, producer, and composer, Ryan O’Neal. With more than 5 billion streams, his music has been featured on more than 100 movies, shows and adverts including The Voice, So You Think You Can Dance, Criminal Minds, Ralph Lauren, Mercedes-Benz and the Super Bowl. 

Ryan began writing, recording and performing in 1999 as the lead singer of Sleeping At Last, initially an indie rock band. After being discovered by Billy Corgan (of The Smashing Pumpkins) and signed by Interscope Records, the band released their major label debut and embarked on a national tour. 

After two more albums, drummer Chad O’Neal and bassist Dan Perdue decided to pursue other interests. Ryan continued to create music as Sleeping At Last, honing his signature sound of atmospheric textures and melodic vocals. 

In 2011, he wrote Turning Page for the blockbuster The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 and network shows—such as Bones, Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy—began to feature his music. 

Over the past decade, Ryan has been creating several long-form concept projects. Atlas is his series of music released in multiple chapters: Atlas: I features songs about the origins of the universe; Atlas: II explores involuntary human development; and the final chapter currently underway, Atlas: III considers voluntary human development. 

Other current projects include: Astronomy, inspired by celestial events and discoveries; and Atoms, short pieces celebrating moments of wonder around us. 

Today, Ryan is a sought after composer and performer with commissions and collaborations ranging from Ryan Reynolds to Andrew Lloyd Webber. Through Sleeping At Last he has released more than 20 albums and EPs, garnering one platinum and three gold RIAA certified singles.
