About Royal & the Serpent

Royal & the Serpent is the solo project of Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Ryan Shen, an artist who has carved out a fiercely loyal fanbase through brutally honest lyricism and genre-blurring production that pulls from alternative pop, indie rock, and electronic influences. Shen's music confronts anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional turbulence with a directness that resonates deeply with listeners who have felt unseen by the mainstream.

The project broke through with the viral hit "Overwhelmed," a song that became an anthem for an entire generation navigating mental health and the chaos of modern life. Since then, Royal & the Serpent has continued to build a catalog that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable — a rare combination in contemporary pop. Each release adds new dimensions to Shen's artistic voice, moving from bedroom-pop vulnerability to full-throated anthemic production without ever losing the emotional core that defines the project.

Atlanta has always been a city that rewards authenticity, and Royal & the Serpent brings it in abundance. The Atlanta music community gravitates toward artists who take risks and speak honestly, which is exactly why a Royal & the Serpent Terminal West show lands as a genuine cultural moment rather than just another tour date. Atlanta fans who have followed this project from its early days know what this performance means — and new listeners are about to find out.
