On the edge of the stage, under the spotlight, and behind a microphone, singer and songwriter Ryland
James thrives. In this space, the artist's voice rings out with a bold balance of passion, panache, and power, coursing through a fusion of gospel roots, gritty soul, and anthemic pop straight from the heart. That voice already carried him a long way from his birthplace of Deseronto, Ontario and recently brought him to a career milestone: joining a personal hero—Alessia Cara—on tour throughout Canada and the U.S.
Returning from the road, he kicked off his biggest and boldest chapter with the 2019 single "
In My Head" which has impressively been certified Gold in Canada. Co-written amidst trips to Stockholm and London (which yielded nearly 100 original compositions), the track highlights Ryland's poetic song-craft and expansive vocal range. The vocals reverberate with a combination of urgent immediacy and palpable emotion. Ultimately, Ryland makes a connection every time he picks up a microphone in the studio or on stage.
