Ryan's Testimonials

Kind Words From People

  • Bryce Honsinger - Fellow Teacher
    ``I have had the privilege of hearing the wonderful music Ryan creates for many years. His sound is unique, as are the deep messages that are embedded within his songs. His experiences have crafted him into the musician he has become. As with all true artists, there is profound meaning and intentionally behind all he does and creates. Not only is Ryan a talented musician, but he is also a very generous person. In 2016, my son Jacob was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In 2018, Ryan donated his time and talents to play at a fundraiser for Jacob and our family. The crowd loved Ryan’s powerful music, and the enthusiasm he brought to the room was electrifying. He truly had the audience in the palm of his hand.``
  • Mike Strange - Co-Founder of Heaters Heroes | Founder of the BoxRun Charitable Foundation | City Councillor of Niagara Falls
    ``Ryan is one of the best entertaining, interactive musicians that goes over and beyond when playing cover songs or one of his amazing originals. He is a kind hearted and genuine, he will donate his time for a cause, especially for sick children. I have dealt with hundreds of musicians throughout owning a bar and doing charity events and I can tell you that Ryan is probably the most professional entertainer that I have ever dealt with.``
