DECEMBER 2008
Ryan's CD is finally out! What a difficult baby that was! He is already working on new recordings/songs and continues to work towards setting up his foundations for a life long career in music and is building a good team around him. The Demonstration EP is now available to order worldwide from CD Baby and Banquet Records. See www.ryankoriya.com or the above link for details
A new YouTube projecet called 'In My Place', has already begun and there will be videos uploaded as he goes along. Ryan is playing small house gigs in some lucky people's very own homes to give them an intimate look at live acoustic music. What a bargain, instead of having to trek to a venue in the howling winter night and spend money to get in.
The music video for Cupid Love (Interlude), song number 4 on the EP, that was shot and edited in Sydney, Australia, is also now up on YouTube to
celebrate the launch of the new CD.
A musician with enough belief in himself and in his potential, to abandon his job and flat/apartment to fully pursue his dream. Ryan is currently living a crazy life that most would not tolerate but he knows the climb up any mountain is challenging, so rather than take detours and make excuses, why not just go straight up the mountain you are after?
The year ended on a triumphant note, as Ryan celebrates having reached his primary goals (recording his EP), against all odds. So there continues to be all sorts of movement from Ryan on MySpace, YouTube, facebook and other sites like Last.fm, so do check out what's on and where.
THE MOTHER EARTH DIARIES
Having left his day job and flat/apartment, Ryan is documenting his adventures in a personal diary/blog, with pictures and videos.
From living in a London Bridge hostel, painting murals for a bed, busking on London South Bank for money, to dodging drunken piss (the grown man on the top bunk wet himself!) and sharing stories with the homeless. All a part of his journey from obscurity to platform 9 & 3/4, wherever that is!

"Put your arms around me
Wrap your arms around me
But do ever so gently
For there is an arrow stuck in my shoulder,
From when love took my breath away
And I didn't have the heart to show her.
See me the way I am.
I'm not looking for a serenade,
Just someone to understand.
I'm doing all I can
To be the middle man
Between you and life.
I'm trying to understand
What keeps blowing my mind."
Ryan, YOU are one Awesome Production! Your voice is magical, Your guitar seems to play the notes you are only still thinking about making you one with the instrument. I love every song you have done. I wish you all that life can bring to you. You are an incredible human being.
