Ryan Neal: Defying Limits, Crafting Motown Bounce

Raised within earshot of Detroit, Ryan Neal's musical journey is extraordinary. Not your average singer-songwriter/producer, he's a sonic wizard, overcoming challenges like being half-deaf and triumphing over a brain tumor at an early age. Musically, Neal effortlessly navigates soul, funk, hip-hop, and electronic beats with pop sensibilities, coining his distinctive style 'Motown Bounce.’ Equally inspired by soul singers and hip-hop producers, envision '60s/'70s soul with a modern sheen and intensified beats, gliding smoothly from the dance floor to the bedroom, establishing a sense of home in both domains.

In late 2019, a television executive discovered Neal’s cover of “A Song For You” by Donny Hathaway on Instagram, leading him to be cast among thousands of musician hopefuls on ABC’s The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart. This newfound legion of fans gave him a broader audience for his music, and his vocal ability on the show was praised by the likes of Toni Braxton, Jason Mraz, Kesha, Andy Grammar, and John Alagia.

From gracing the stage of the Electric Forest Festival to being featured on primetime television, Neal's captivating stage presence as a performer has mesmerized global audiences. As a sought-after producer, his creative boundaries are nonexistent, ensuring a sonic voyage that defies limitations. Neal is here to prove that resilience and creativity go hand in hand. Currently rooted in Nashville, armed with self-produced gems, Ryan is gearing up for a 2024 sonic tidal wave.
