Greg Ryan is a singer, multi instrumentalist and songwriter from Newport South Wales. He began his music career as one half of the music duo Nothing North Of Alaska with whom he was highlighted as artist of the week by BBC introducing, topped the international independent charts with two original songs and won a Download Music Award for best acoustic act. Greg has since established himself as a solo performer, playing regularly in venues around South Wales as well as venues further afield including Brixton Jamm, Dublin Castle – Camden and the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Greg’s first original single as a solo act has been championed by BBC Radio Wales and added to the Welsh A List. Greg’s style borrows from folk, country and Americana styles and includes a repertoire of self penned songs about subjects including attempts to relax into the chaos of looking for life’s purpose, struggles with long distance relationships and the life and works of at least one near forgotten female paleontologist. Greg has also composed for film and tv projects, lead creative education projects as digital artist in residence at Tate, made a language inventor with Shakespeare’s Globe and remixed the London Symphony Orchestra’s string section with the help of 300 children.
