New Video, New Songs, New Shows!
Ryan's been around the world and back bringing his sweet ReggaeSoul sounds to the global massive! The debut EP is sold out - thanks to everyone for supporting, listening, grooving and showing their love. A special Big Up to those fans who bought the EP at our live shows- Nuff Respect! Ryan remains at the top of his game skillfully demonstrating time and again that it's "all about the art form". For consciousness, wicked riddims or an unexpected peek through an insightful lens…Ryan makes multifaceted music for this colourful mosaic, we call life.
The ReggaeSoul sound is catching on- burning up the airwaves and sound stages. From collaborations in France, Jamaica and here at home Ryan's music is capturing a critical mass. It's still best described as a refreshing mélange of soul, jazz and r n' b with a shout out to reggae. Call it 'nouveau reggae', 'reggae soul stylin' or 'rhythm & roots reggae'- it's still a unique fusion, a soul stew of musical vibrations.
