J. Ryan, originally born in India, has developed a sound that on certain songs, combines the flair of David Bowie with the modern pop/rock sound of Coldplay. Other songs can leave you in a world of reminiscent of Pink Floyd meets 1980's electro pop.
Ryan sprang into the music scene at the age of 13. He sang in various organized gigs in India. By 17, he knew he wanted to do more than sing. Acoustic guitar in hand, Ryan began to teach himself how to play.
Now living in Katmandu, Nepal, J. Ryan has started to create a worldwide buzz around his music.
His new song "Zoe" has been featured on streaming internet radio stations and made it all the way to the semi finals for the Babelgum Music Video Awards.
