CHART-TOPPING MUSICIAN RYAN FOLLESE DEBUTS SOLO EP TODAY

NASHVILLE, TN (September 2, 2016) – Multi-octave singer/songwriter Ryan Follese (pronounced fall-uh-ZAY) is making his Country debut with a self-titled EP, available now on BMLG Records and already soaring into the Top 10 on the iTunes Country Albums chart. The talented musician co-wrote all six tracks, which were recorded with producers Dann Huff and Cameron Montgomery in Nashville. In conjunction with the release, “Put A Label On It” will impact Country radio this fall as the official first single.

“For the last few years, I’ve felt a pull towards my roots,” explained Ryan. “This project really lays out my natural musical path, and it feels terrific to finally be home where I belong!”

Growing up just south of Nashville with chart-topping Country songwriter parents, music has been a part of Ryan’s DNA since birth. As a teenager, his musical journey navigated across various bands and genres before ultimately leading him to front American Music Award-winning band Hot Chelle Rae. He co-wrote all of the band’s songs, including their 3X Platinum #1 worldwide smash “Tonight, Tonight.” They toured in 16 countries, featuring arena dates with Taylor Swift, and performed on the CMT Music Awards alongside Lady Antebellum. Ryan has since re-focused his songwriting to incorporate the storytelling lyrics and Nashville influences he was raised on. The results can be heard throughout the collection of songs penned for his newly-released EP.
