ABOUT RYAN
Ryan Hagan is an American recording artist and songwriter discovered by Beyonce and Destiny’s Child’s vocal coach and producer, Kim Wood Sandusky. In less than 3 years, Ryan has garnered international attention and shattered music industry norms, having been called the “up-and-coming pop music sensation” of 2020 by the LA Wire and “a name that listeners should watch out for” by NY Weekly. In a feature article, ABC News said, “Hagan is on the verge of international acclaim.”
His newest single, “Don’t Let Me Stop,” dropped 4/9 and is the 3rd collaboration with Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer Bryan Todd of 2220 Records. A remix EP and music video will follow. Full schedule:
4/9 - “Don’t Let Me Stop” Original (Bryan Todd Mix)
4/16 - Remix by Steve Smart and Jovan Bloom
4/23 - Music Video debut on VEVO
4/23 - Remix by Moto Blanco
4/30 - Remix by Corrigan
Ryan’s previous singles, “You Deserve Better” and “Reset,” both received radio airplay and began charting - a virtually unheard of feat for an indie in the music industry. Each record ran on the charts for nearly two uninterrupted months and soared as high as #7 on three different charts (Commercial Pop Top 30, Upfront Top 30 & Black Music Top 20).
Extending his collaborative reach overseas to the U.K., Ryan has released two remix EPs comprised of A-list DJs like Charlie Hedges & Eddie Craig, Kingdom 93, Routes, Alphalove, Rare Candy and Marc Baigent & Element Z. Ryan plans to tour Europe as soon as live music resumes.
Ryan also co-wrote and co-produced his first two singles, “Jimmy Fallon” and “Come to You,” which combined have earned over 1 million streams.
Growing up, Ryan got his start singing in churches from an early age and is a self-taught pianist. He credits his spiritual upbringing and gospel influences for the soulful sounds ingrained in his voice. He enjoyed success as a nationally-acclaimed athlete before a career-ending series of injuries catapulted him into songwriting and performing pop music. Outside of music, Ryan enjoys fitness, sports, meditation and spirituality - and is an active mental health advocate on social media and podcasts across the world.
