Ryan Oakes is a phenomenon. Entirely independent, he is a true testament to what hard work, great songs and undeniable talent can build.

Over the past 5 years and across 250 tracks, Ryan has built an empire entirely by himself. Ever prolific, his consistent releasing of new music has seen him grow streaming numbers usually unreachable to artists without the support of a major label.

His Spotify currently sits at over 1,200,000 monthly listeners and growing. Sonically he continues to evolve his hard rap sound, blending it with rock and punk. The first half of 2022 saw him release his latest EP, Burnout, which has already amassed over 20 million streams. The lead single, “2L8,” had a viral moment on TikTok (clocking up 1.8 million views and counting) and secured airplay across BBC Radio One and Sirius XM. The song now sits at over 12 million streams on Spotify.

The second half of 2022 saw Ryan begin the roll out of his debut album, Wake Up. Set for release on May 5th, 2023, singles already released from the album include “Heavyweight (ft. Loveless)” and “White Flag (ft. Magnolia Park)”. This will be Ryan’s first release on new label home, Position Music.

But that’s just the beginning - the new era starts now. It’s time to Wake Up.
