I Built The Sky
I BUILT THE SKY is the brainchild of Melbourne-based guitarist, songwriter, and producer Ro Han Stevenson. Since its inception in 2012, the project has been known for its intricate riffs, shredding guitar work, and captivating melodic leads.
Ro Han’s impressive skills have been showcased across a diverse range of musical styles, from intense progressive metal anthems to delicate acoustic compositions.
Originally starting as a hobby and studio-only project, Ro Han has successfully transformed I BUILT THE SKY into a fully-fledged live band.
Early live performances included supporting international acts such as Between The Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Monuments, Plini, Intervals, Twelve Foot Ninja, Haken, and Polyphia.
In 2018, I BUILT THE SKY embarked on its first European/UK tour, performing 23 shows alongside Caligula’s Horse and Circles, further expanding Ro Han’s international fanbase. By 2019, Ro Han left his teaching position to focus on the project full-time.
In 2020, he represented Bare Knuckle Pickups at the NAMM convention in the US and conducted his first masterclass at Cal Poly Pomona College, followed by another European/UK tour with Monuments.
Over the past few years, I BUILT THE SKY has released several notable albums, including ‘The Zenith Rise’ which achieved a Top 13 debut on the AIR charts and a Top 20 debut on iTunes. The single ‘The Fire Inside,’ featuring Andy Cizek and Olly Steele of Monuments, and the ‘Coalesce EP’ a collaboration with Jake Howsam Lowe (Plini, The Helix Nebula) featuring members of Intervals, The Omnific, and renowned guitarist Andre Nieri, both received significant acclaim. The ‘Coalesce EP’ debuted at #1 on Bandcamp in four categories and achieved a Top 40 debut on iTunes.
In 2022, the release of the album ‘The Quiet Place Away‘ saw I BUILT THE SKY topping Bandcamp charts and performing a sold-out album launch show with a three-piece string section, featuring both new and fan-favorite songs.

Guitar pro has been a consistent friend to me across the years, the ability to communicate music to musicians is unparalleled and the program itself is so easy to navigate.
I’ve been extremely lucky to be able to share my music transcripts with fans who have been able to learn my pieces and perform live, make video clips and even use my music as assessed performances across collages worldwide.
Guitar Pro’s ability to streamline the learning process is phenomenal, and I can’t see any better way.
