Ryan Hays
Ryan's pursuit of music began in a different way than most. At the age of 8, he began to develop a stutter which affected every sense of his being. This major change would begin to mold him, and his mind leading him to discover his musical talents. Ryan has performed in Woodstock, London, in Paris at the legendary Notre Dame Cathedral, and places such as Carnegie Hall in New York City. Ryan also served in the United States Army where he only further realized that his passion was in music and that that was his gift to the world. Now fully pursuing his music, Ryan has written and produced multiple songs including his two first solo singles, "I'm coming Home", and "Beautiful Stranger". He released his debut album titled "Beautiful Stranger" on May 14th on all streaming platforms and just released his new single "The Prayer". His music truly can't be defined by one genre or style, but instead an overall feeling where each song will take you down a musical journey of emotion, good times and self reflection.
