Warner Music Nashville and Altadena are proud to announce the signing of up-and-coming country artist Ryan Griffin. The Florida native is bursting onto the scene with his own distinctive sonic mix, created alongside hit-making producer busbee (Maren Morris, Gwen Stefani), which lands somewhere between Keith Urban and Brian McKnight. He most recently demonstrated his blend of honest country and R&B soul on independently released tracks “Good Company,” “Play It By Heart” and “Best Cold Beer,” the latter of which SiriusXM The Highway featured as part of their influential “On the Horizon” show. A gifted songwriter, Griffin lent his pen to Kelsea Ballerini’s 2016 Platinum-certified No. 1 hit “Dibs.” He has already accumulated more than 10.5 million on-demand streams and been named to a number of “Ones to Watch” lists, includingRolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know.” Quickly becoming a fan favorite, he has shared the stage with chart-topping artists including Ballerini, Lady Antebellum, Old Dominion and more. Griffin is currently working on new music to be released in 2019.
