S.I.N., or Strength In Numbers is the name used by Producer Ryan M. Layman. Ryan is a native Clevelander who grew up in the southern suburbs.
 He started taking an interest in music when he got his first guitar at the age of 14. "I always was really ADD, and I loved music. I remember my first CD was Dr. Dre's "the Cronic". 
I would sit and listen to that CD for days and days. I wanted to make music like rappers, but I couldnt on the Guitar". That is as far as it went. A passion for hip hop and rap music and playing the guitar.
 It wasnt until 2003 when Ryan Joined the Army and got Stationed in Hawaii when He discovered the Turntables. "I remember going to Hawaii and the Night life was so different. There would be one guy in a club with two turntables and this one guy would control the whole energy of the club with a little mixer, I was amazed." Ryan started learning about 
how to become a DJ. He would travel around the Island of Ohau to different bars and night clubs and DJ almost everyday that he was not at work for the Army. Ryan Stayed in Hawaii until 2008. He moved back to Cleveland and finished his time in the Amy with trainning Reserve Soldiers. He was dealing a lot of issues related to PTSD from being overseas, and started slipping away from reality of daily life in the united states. " I was going insane. I could not sleep, when I would sleep, I was having nightmares, when I was awake, I was afraid of being alive. I was depressed, scared, and lonley".
 Ryan found a way to escape and started using drugs to cope with life. He fell deeper and deeper. "I had lost everything. The woman I loved so much, my family I loved so much, all of my material items, my home, my car, everything". Ryan was living in a homeless shelter in 2011, addicted to heroin. He weighed 117lbs, and was broken. He said that one day while trying to fall asleep on the floor in the shelter that God spoke to him. "something hit me so hard and it all made sense that I was about to Die". Ryan Never looked back. "it was Nov 8th 2011, I was shooting up heroin in a bathroom stall of this homeless shelter, and I knew that 
it would be the last time". ryan has not touched a drug since. He was admitted to a detox in cleveland and then did an in patient treatment for the following 5 months. He discovered that his passion, music was the balance. "I saved up some money, bought a laptop, and some software and started producing mash ups".
