ABOUT>
Introducing Ryan Fox, a UK Americana from Kent, England. His unique, popular sound and poetic lyrical style draws from influences as diverse as early Dylan to Noel Gallagher, from Johnny Cash to Elton John, from Bruce Springsteen to Stephen Sondheim.
Ryan's thoughtful, witty, poetic songs have been played on FolkCast, Hermitage FM, Miskin Radio, Deal Radio and Sheppey FM. His songs have reached the finals of the UK Songwriting Contest and been featured on the Disabled People Against Cuts website. He has played the Acoustic Sessions at Rainham three times and Tunbridge Wells’ The Forum twice.
Ryan had classical piano lessons from an early age and picked up a guitar at uni, his early influences including Oasis, Coldplay and, naturally, The Beatles. He developed his songwriting in his 20s, largely owing to meeting musical guru Dr Richard Niles, who pushed Ryan out of his comfort zone to explore fresh sonic ground - to try new things. This involved the technique of active listening which freed Ryan’s mind to ponder the creativity used by some of popular music’s greatest writers.
Ryan worked with several singers and played in numerous bands in this time of nurture and reflection. He decided to go solo in order to realise his creative ambitions.
​
Ryan is seeking festival slots in Kent and the south east for summer 2024 and will commence gigging again in early 2025, having taken a hiatus to concentrate on being a new dad. He releases a new song every month on all the usual online outlets, and is currently re-working some of his songs with producer Scott Evans.
