About the artist
Ryan Gray is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, and recording artist based in San Diego, CA, with over a decade of experience in the music industry and a lifelong passion for music that goes back much further.
Ryan's journey began at an early age while singing in choir, where he honed his soulful and dynamic vocals. Influenced by the timeless sounds of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, James Taylor, and Joni Mitchell—artists beloved by his parents—Ryan’s natural curiosity led him to pick up the guitar. His father’s own musicianship further fueled his desire to explore music, and Ryan quickly developed his skills on the instrument.
At 18, Ryan took his first steps as a songwriter, penning his first track, “Slow Down Blues.” This song went on to become the opening track of his self-produced debut album, “I’m On My Way.” Throughout his career, Ryan has navigated both planned and unexpected detours, yet his passion for music has remained unwavering. With a renewed sense of purpose and determination, he’s returned to songwriting and performing with fresh energy.
Ryan’s latest release, “Down in the Dirt,” showcases his growth as an artist and is available now on all major streaming platforms.
