Back up - Ryan Hadwick (Original).wav

From sunny Bognor Regis on the south coast of england i started my musical path early on in my childhood joining my father at Mobile discos,

My love for disco house turned to a obsession with breakbeat and then trance music, i cut my teeth stepping onto a huge stage at the age of 19 with a guest slot at slinkys, this followed radio slots with SpritFM and then many guest slots on pirate radios and forest raves,

My music background resurfaced with my love of the disco house sound when funky house returned into the charts with the likes of freemasons and stonebridge, 

I found my musical tastes although broad in my personal clubbing days and for home enjoyment i always found myself returning to disco house, the break though for me personally was when i discovered french house and a live for Daft Punk and craved the funky slap and warped happy vibe basslines with nu-disco synths and feel good vibes of big brands like HedKandi and  Glitterbox, 

I wanted more than just to DJ, i wanted to make my mark and make music i love the sound off to add into my sets at bars and student nights, 

While gaining popularity and prizing myself as a open door open format professional dj in bars and clubs including Sheiks nightclub and Club lush, along with long held residencies for stonegate, Lloyds, and many top bars within Brighton to bournemouth into london i used my new skills to drive my own skills in track creation at Airtight Studios on fully analog kit, i was learning how to mix and write music with hints and tips from Richard Scott  and DJ links surrounded by amazing talent including Vince Nessye and Eddie Craig whos influence in studio techniques helped me learn new ways to craft music.

Then i hit my first pitfall with a breakdown in my personal life forcing me to stockpile my desire in music creation due to lifes struggles, i always kept my dream but has to take a short break and drove my djing forward with working on my personal dj sets, this brought me to finding a new drive and after working with many top artists including Livin Joy, Phats and small, Shola Arma, Lifford Shillingfold and many more 90/2000s headliners onstage i found my feet again in music creation at home,

I now run a home studio and pride myself on making my own sound, i take great pride in not working alone in my tracks and studio and finally landed my first Record deal with “Sound this Records” in 2023, 
Label owner and Artist GR “Graham Richadson” who i personally admired as a artist decided to give me a break with Jazzbury Daquiri, this track featured on iHeartRadio and landed no3 in the Labels Chart within days, its been played all over the world and i exploded into creativity with 2 follow up singles and finally my “BITCH” EP on STR Records, 

Off the back of my records ive had privileged bookings at some fantastic events and its pushed me into advancing my skills and creating more and more polished my skills as i gain in my personal musical path.

The biggest joy in my life past my family is to see people dance and enjoy my music! That means so much more to me for the blood and sweat in creating the music,
Music is universal in triggering emotions, it creates memories, has real feelings that i can visualise as pattens and texture within my mind and i just hope everyone get this! Its almost a primeval connection to you as a individual but also shared experience of a path into your hearts 


My path in music may change but im forever a cog in my love for Dance music. 


Hope you find some feeling from my work,

Enjoy
