Ryan Schmidt | ru

Since his humble musical beginnings in rural New Hampshire, Nashville-based pop singer and recent graduate from Northeastern University’s renowned Music Industry program, Ryan Schmidt has opened for critically acclaimed artists Matt Nathanson and LIGHTS, sang a duet with Juliana Hatfield, and has been named the Critic’s Choice at the Starbucks Music Makers Competition.

These achievements have been fueled by a refreshingly back-to-basics recipe of undeniable talent, unrelenting innovation and boundless desire, along with a healthy portion of good ole fashioned drive. This past year, he performed at the Outlaw Roadshow private CMJ showcase, appeared in GQ’s annual Men Of The Year editorial and was nominated “Best Music Artist” in Campus Activities Magazine Reader’s Poll. With his fourth studio album due out Summer 2014, Schmidt “has taken the singer/songwriter genre to new heights.” (OurVinyl.com) .
