Listen to ‘Cry On,’ https://ffm.to/cryon Had an incredible time performing a short set for the BPMCU End of Year Showcase alongside the amazing Raph Mayer on guitar, Elliot Taylor on bass, and Sebastian Dumitrescu on keys. Thanks to everyone who came out and made the night so special! My performance was far from perfect; I made some human mistakes with my lyrics and voice, but the important part was that it was fun. I love to share my art with you, so I uploaded the clips to YouTube to watch!

Musically, I wanted to create something raw yet comforting that felt like a warm embrace in the middle of the storm. The production leans into that vulnerability, with delicate instrumentation that builds into something powerful but also experimental. "Cry On" is for anyone who’s ever needed permission to feel. I hope it finds you when you need it most. ♥️🌃 Pre-save 'Cry On': https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/ryansykes/cry-on-2 ►Follow Ryan: Instagram: http://instagram.com/theryansykes Twitter: http://twitter.com/itsryansykes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RyanSykesMusic Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/ryansykes ►Listen on Apple Music: http://hyperurl.co/RyanSykes-AppleHits ►Listen on Spotify: https://lnkfi.re/TheHits Music video by Ryan Sykes performing Cry On. © 2025 Ryan Sykes
