Singing Made Straightforward for All

Connecting people, communities, and emotions through music.

Singer, composer, choral director, vocal coach and educator with nearly 20 years of experience in the music industry. 

Before transitioning into education, Ryan worked as a singer/songwriter, performing on stages including the Liverpool Echo Arena (M&S Bank Arena), Southport Theatre, Riviera International Centre, Palace Theatre, Theatre Royal, and several festival stages. In recent months, he has returned to his performing and recording roots, collaborating with other artists to release several recordings. 

Presently, Ryan works as a choral director alongside respected musical director, David Walters, creating one of the largest community choirs in the Southwest, as well as championing men's mental health, founding 'Blokes Who Sing', a male voice choir promoting the wellbeing of men through singing. In recent months, Ryan embarked on an exciting new initiative – the City of Sons: Youth Male Voice Choir. This collaborative endeavor with the Plymouth Youth Music Service aims to inspire and cultivate a passion for singing among the young boys in our city. 

Additionally, with the desire to share his knowledge and passion for singing and music, he recently qualified as a certified voice teacher and vocal coach, working with singers across the UK, the US, and Europe. 

As a songwriter and composer, Ryan is passionate about creating music that evokes emotions and tells a story. Throughout his career as a songwriter, he has had the privilege of working with talented musicians and performers to bring compositions to life as well as co-writing with other songwriters to bring life to their songs with compositions known for their unique blend of nostalgic and contemporary influences, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Encouraging the next generation of musicians is his biggest passion. As an educator, he has the desire to ensure every child has an equal opportunity to access high-quality music education. In recent years, Ryan has developed a music curriculum inspired by the teachings of Zoltan Kodaly, allowing all pupils, regardless of their social or economic influences, to learn and develop their musical artistry in a way that is structured and progressive - with incremental, transferable skills at the core of building our musicians of the future.
