ABOUT RYAN

For those that know country newcomer Ryan Waters, his story is defined by a quintessential country upbringing, an unequivocal work ethic, and a genuine relatability. After years focused on a career in baseball, Waters found himself disenchanted with the sport and, over time, his sidelined love for music took over. Employing that work ethic to master guitar, vocals, and songwriting, he hopped on the TikTok trend at the advice of his sister after writing streaming hit “Chevrolet You Down" and the move paid off to the tune of over 1 million views, over 6,500 pre-saves, over 9 million streams on Spotify alone. The momentum put Waters in Nashville, where he committed to and immersed himself in his craft. He’s followed “Chevrolet You Down” with a string of streaming successes, including 2021’s “Tomorrow’s Not Tonight,” which has over 10 million Spotify streams, and his cover of “Chasing Cars” (2023) - which has over 7 million streams. Drawing sonic and lyrical inspiration from his experiences living a small town life, Waters is primed to be a major influence in the world of country music.
