Hey, I’m Ryan Hayes

— a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist blending genre and emotion to create music that hits where it matters most.

From the first time I picked up a guitar, I knew music was more than a passion — it was a calling. I grew up inspired by the grit of rock, the groove of soul, the storytelling of folk, and the raw energy of hip-hop. That mix still fuels everything I create.

Whether I’m in the studio crafting layered soundscapes or onstage delivering stripped-down, acoustic performances, I aim to keep it honest. Every song I write comes from lived experience — from heartbreak and healing to growth, grit, and everything in between.

You might’ve discovered me through my YouTube channel

, or caught one of my live sets. Either way, I’m glad you’re here. Music is a shared experience, and I’m all about that connection — the kind that reminds us we’re not alone.

Right now, I’m deep in the creative process — writing, recording, and getting ready to release new tracks that push even further into who I am and what I want to say. Thanks for being part of this journey.
