So far in 2020, he has released 2 new singles and a remix on Armin van Buuren’s powerhouse label Armada with his latest release titled ‘What The Hell Am I (Drinking In LA)’. The track was inspired by Bran Vab 3000's 90’s classic ‘Drinking In LA’.
Ryan has also secured an international presence by playing shows and festivals all over the world. Some of the most memorable, however, have been on home soil where he has played the Main Stage at two of Canada's largest electronic dance festivals - Dreams Music Festival and Escapade Music Festival - in 2017, 2018, & 2019. He joined Loud Luxury on their ‘Nights Like This’ North American Tour as well as played multiple events throughout ADE 2019 in Amsterdam.
