Summary
Sleeping At Last is the moniker of Chicago singer-songwriter, producer and composer, Ryan O'Neal. His music is often heard on TV and Film (Grey's Anatomy, The Twilight Saga, Ellen, The Fault In Our Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Criminal Minds, Bones, Ads for Budweiser, Mercedes and more.) After many years of making full-length albums and touring, Sleeping At Last began writing long-form series of songs. In 2011, the 36-song collection "Yearbook" was released. In 2014, "Atlas" began- a new and ongoing series of songs released over the following several years. "Atlas: I" contained 30 songs inspired by the origins of the Universe. "Atlas: II" explored the theme of involuntary human development throughout 25 songs, including 9 inspired by The Enneagram of personality. The third chapter in this series will begin in 2020 and will explore the concept of voluntary human development- what we DO with all that we're given.
