Get into the holiday spirit with award-winning singer-songwriter and audiobook narrator Guy Barnes' beautiful Christmas song under his artist name, Rider. This uplifting song comes with a powerful message that will touch your heart and make you believe in the magic of Christmas.

This Christmas You`ll Believe

My first album since Suicide In Fractions in 2008, its a blend of rock, pop and country driven radio friendly tracks.

"I connected with the words and could relate to what Rider was saying. I felt as if he wasn’t singing about his life he was singing about mine and that is the sign of a great album after all great music is only great because it connects with people in some way, shape or form. I’m sure this album will be relatable than to more people than just myself so I urge you to go and check out “Child of Yesterday” its a great album from start to finish and please let me know if you found it as relatable as I did.

I Don't Believe In Love

Mentored and apprenticed by legendary audio pioneer John Oram, Guy Barnes (performing music 
under the pseudonym G.B. Rider) has produced a steady flow of quality music for more than thirty 
years.
With an original and emotive voice, Guy’s sound blends his early love for substantial chorus-driven 
songs with a blend of singer-songwriter greats like Neil Sedaka, George Michael, and Elton John and a 
touch of Jon Bon Jovi and David Coverdale.
Writing music since the moment he picked up his first guitar at nine years old, Guy knew early on that 
he wanted to write songs that in their barest form stood up by themselves. His inventive style has led 
to writing collaborations for Universal, Mercury, Warner Brothers, and Sony Records, as well as major 
brands such as Coca-Cola, Chevrolet, AT&T, and Pepsi.
Beyond writing, producing, and performing his own music, Guy takes great pleasure in mentoring up 
and coming musicians in the industry, providing them friendship and support as they pursue their 
musical dreams.
Following the tragic and unexpected death of the young pop star, his friend and protégé, Chris 
Hardman (‘Lil Chris) in 2015, Guy took a sabbatical from the music industry in order to process this 
loss.
The unique and profound way that Chris touched Guy’s life led him to slow down, experience the 
world around him, and ultimately contend with his grief through the outlet of music. His magnificent 
comeback album, Child of Yesterday is a product of overcoming the dark, and continuing on with 
hope.
After relocating to Monchique, Portugal, Guy has become a sought after talent for audiobook 
narration. In 2021 he received the Audiobook Adrenaline Award for Best Historical Fiction Narration 
for A Brother’s Oath, The Hengest and Horse Trilogy Book 1. Guy followed this award with the 2023 
IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Narration for Max and the Spice Thieves by John Peregine.
In his spare time, Guy has acted in several film and television programs, and appeared in the lead role 
of Tim Hemp in the 2021 film, Typo, which is currently available on Amazon Prime.
In his spare time Guy is a passionate motorcycle enthusiast and owns a custom Harley Davidson and a 
Yamaha V Star 1100.
Whether writing, producing, or performing, Guy is always innovating, and always open to collaborate
