A songwriter since the age of 9, Ryan has released four bodies of original work in the last three years. Of these is  his most recent EP "4S", a co-creation with LA-based producer/saxophonist Daniel Weidlein. His YouTube video, “Define Me,” reached over 300,000 views and garnered acclaim from Huffington Post, Sirius XM Radio, and Pride Festivals in New York, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Brisbane, Australia. In 2013, he was awarded by ASCAP with 2013 Robert Allen Award for songwriting. He has just released his music video for "Spectrum," a celebration of diversity with a focus on human sexuality.
