Name On It EP Available Everywhere 8/28
Rising recording artist Ryan Griffin is revisiting the college house-parties of his past in the brand new music video for “Down” (WATCH HERE). Directed by Justin Key, Griffin finds himself surrounded by red solo cups and half eaten pizza slices; remains from the type of party he remembers attending throughout college that starts in the morning and lasts well after “when the sun goes down.” Featured on his upcoming Name On It EP, due August 28, the summer-ready tune was penned by Griffin alongside Cameron Badell and Mark Trussell (LISTEN HERE). Together with recent releases “Right Here Right Now,” “Going Going Gone,” “One Prayer Left” and the EP’s title track, Griffin tells stories of love, faith, gratitude and good times.
A genre-defying talent, Griffin’s music fuses pop, soul and R&B with the honest universality of country to forge a romantic mix landing somewhere between Keith Urban and Brian McKnight. Receiving critical praise from outlets including People, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Entertainment Tonight and more, the heart-forward up-and-comer continues to seize his moment as a star on the cusp with his stunning vocals and hardwired emotional connection on full blast.
Since moving to Music City at the age of 17 after growing up on his family’s farm in Florida, Griffin has found success in songwriting – notably lending his pen to Kelsea Ballerini’s Platinum-selling hit “Dibs.” He has also grabbed his own artistic attention with fans across multiple music sharing platforms. Featured as a SiriusXM Highway Find, he has racked up more than 20 million streams in the U.S. alone with independently released track including the infectious “Woulda Left Me Too,” “Best Cold Beer” and “Play It By Heart.”
