Ryan Kennedy

Ryan Kennedy is a Christian songwriter, electronic R&B/pop artist, speaker and music producer. Growing up in Houston —the third largest theatre district in the U.S.—afforded Ryan the opportunity to be involved in musical theatre from an early age. By the time he was a teenager, he was musically directing and conducting performances; and by 17, he achieved young success, writing an full-scale Broadway musical, along with an accompanying 22-song score. Staging the work at Houston’s renown Theatre Under the Stars, attracted the attention of multiple New York producers. The musical was chosen from a group of over 500 projects to be awarded a large grant funding from the National Alliance for Musical Theatre. The project began to move towards a promising future as plans of moving the production to New York came about in creative meetings with producers, investors, and directors. As the show began taking steps towards its off-Broadway run, the project came to an abrupt halt when Ryan experienced a profound and life-altering encounter with Christ. Leaving everything behind and wanting nothing but Jesus, Ryan left his musical and career behind to recklessly follow the Holy Spirit and never looked back. He then began to use his music ability to write and produce music that spoke of His faith and the life-changing power of the gospel.
