Welcome!
Thanks so much for stopping by my tiny little corner of the internet! Feel free to look around, listen to some music, check out a video, or drop me a line. I'm a firm believer in creating community with my fans, so I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for the support, cheers!
The new single, "Get Me High" is officially released! Check out the video here:
Ryan Van Slooten is an award winning singer-songwriter based out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. A multi-instrumentalist and producer, his songs are full of catchy hooks, chiming guitars, lush arrangements, and honest, heart-on-sleeve lyrics. He is equal parts rock n' roller and crooner, without losing that singer-songwriter charm. Find out more here...
It's all about making connections, so let's stay in touch!
I am so excited to be releasing a brand new single called, "Get Me High", that will be available on Friday November 16th! I am currently working on the music video to supplement that release, my first in many, many years. There will be so much more to come, but for now, I can't wait for you all to hear this song. I am very proud of everything that's gone into it and am anxiously awaiting the big day. More soon, cheers!
I am so excited to be making new YouTube videos! I am going to be posting a new video every week so make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel for updates.
Here is my latest for Snow Patrol's "Don't Give In", and the acoustic version of my song, "My Stupid Brain". Thank you for subscribing and I hope you enjoy the videos!
I am so happy to announce that my brand new EP, "The Trouble With Flight", is officially released! Downloads are available right here.
It has been a long road to get here, but I am so proud of the work. This EP marks the beginning of what I hope will be a new era for me and my music. Taking on the roles of both producer and performer is an exhausting task, but it is so very rewarding. The ability to have creative control, in my own time, is a tremendous advantage. I've learned so much since my last album, and I am so excited about what the future holds.
I hope you enjoy the new songs! Be on the lookout for the acoustic versions from this EP, which will be coming in the next few weeks.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! It's because of people like YOU that independent artists, like myself, are able to continue following our dreams.
FIRST LISTEN TO "SAY THE WORD" HERE!
Check out the first single from the upcoming EP now on my campaign page! It's titled "Say the Word", and is very special to me, as I wrote It with my daughters in mind. I recently, just this week, this song received high praise from a music supervisor who specialized in placing music in tv, movies, commercials, etc. I got some great feedback and am hopeful that I will be able to find placement for it in the future.
The campaign is rolling along, hitting 47% today! There's still a lot of ground to cover, but we're making progress. Thank you, everyone!
It's finally happening! My new EP, "The Trouble With Flight" is set for release on Friday July 21st! Your support will be integral in seeing this all the way through though, so please take a second to check out the campaign page.I've put together some great rewards packages for you and in being part of this venture, you are also helping a great cause. A portion of the proceeds of this campaign are going to the Chordoma Foundation, in honor of a dear friend who passed away from this horrible illness a few years ago. Again, please check out the campaign page for more details. I am so excited to be releasing new music, I can't wait for you to hear it!
