Ryan Beatty

A pop singer, songwriter, and producer with a smooth R&B flair, Ryan Beatty often adorns his yearning songs with sleek, woozy production and multi-tracked vocals.He began sharing videos of his performances of covers as a young teen in 2009 and had more than a million video-channel subscribers by the time he issued his first original song, "Every Little Thing," in 2011.

His self-released debut EP, 2012's teen pop-oriented Because of You, entered the top half of the Billboard 200 chart.

Another EP followed in 2013 before he re-emerged in 2018 with a more sophisticated and stylized sound on his debut album, Boy in Jeans, which he quickly followed with collaborations with the likes of Tyler, The Creator and Benny Blanco in addition to an ongoing support role with Brockhampton.Going forward, he embraced this off-centre direction in sound, which remained intimate while delving into more expansive arrangements including strings on 2023's Calico.
