Ryan Houghton

Ryan assists us with our marketing efforts, creating content and helping identify ways to help grow the viewership of the MIA.

Ryan has been working in the music industry for much of the past 15 years. Initially as a guitar tutor, working in schools and community groups, before moving into marketing and business development.

After 6 years as Senior Marketing Manager at Peach Guitars, Ryan went freelance and has since been working with a number of UK based guitar brands and builders, helping to develop their marketing offerings and exploring new opportunities to expand their reach and customer base.

Ryan is passionate about UK guitar brands, the UK has a thriving community of builders and artisans and Ryan loves discovering new brands and ideas. If you want to chat about tone woods, pickup options or analogue vs digital, Ryan is your guy.

Away from music, Ryan has no time for himself, he has 4 kids and a dog. If he did have time, he’d probably spend most of it hiking, watching Ipswich Town Football Club and reading Lord of the Rings for the 100th time.
