As a solo artist, Rice has released three singles - “"The Getaway"”, “"Autumn Days"”, and ""I Think We Got It Right"" - to favorable reviews, drawing musical comparisons to Tom Petty , Ray Lamontagne, Bon Iver, and Iron and Wine. Rice owns Degraw Sound – a recording studio in Brooklyn, NY. According to an interview by Mix magazine, Rice credits the success of his business to hard-work, long-hours, and advice given by his former-producer and manager Gus Van Go, who encouraged Rice to pursue a professional career in sound-production and studio-recording. At Degraw Sound, Rice is known to produce unique compositions by collaborating with the artist, rather than directing their musical-style. His professional credits include record production, engineering, and mixing sessions for a variety of artists – with a focus on indie rock, indie pop, and Americana. Some of his most notable work includes collaborations with artists The Candles (feat. Norah Jones), Aoife O'Donovan, The Districts, the Skins, Silya & The Sailors, Goldkey, Reckless Sons, and The Jezabels. Rice founded Degraw Fest in 2017 - a music festival which features artists who record at his studio: Degraw Sound. The 2018 festival was featured in the New York Times - as a must see event.. Building on its prior success, the 2019 festival featured a series of performances at the Brooklyn Bridge Park (BBP) - hosted in partnership with the BBP Conservancy and Degraw Sound. Degraw Fest 2019 coincided with the park's 20th anniversary of hosting free programs. Over the years, Degraw Fest has featured artists including: AMFM, Bell the Band, Ben Rice, Common Jack, Eighty Ninety, Elliot and The Ghost, Fiama, Goldkey, GRITS, Kevin Daniel, Pearla, Queue, Sophie Colette, and Yella Belly. After producing Reno Bo's album: "Happenings and Other Things" (2009), Rice briefly toured with the Nashville-based rocker to promote the new record; this collaboration marked the first time that Rice produced an album, where he was not the primary artist. Rice also produced, engineered, and mixed The Skins debut EP. Later, he engineered The Skins' single, "Rude Girl", which was produced by Michael Einziger and Chad Hugo, as part of an album distributed by Republic Records.
