Ryan Kershaw Redemption

After a couple weeks off, JB is joined by Scottish singer songwriter Ryan Kershaw who earlier this month released his second album, ‘Less is More’ through the record company ‘Red Tangent Records’ who he also manages.

Make sure to check out the album and keep up to date on his socials @ryankershawofficial

Ryan gives us an insight in to the recording process, how the album has been received and the help and support he has received since it launched. We talk too about the album launch party which took place in his home town of Larkhall.

There is some really interesting chat about how he got involved in music with his first album coming out after spending some time in prison. He talks about how his lived experience has gone on to help others through the wonderful ‘Changing Tunes’ project which helps people with convictions get involved in the music industry.

He shares his own tips to other recording artists in terms of getting their music out there and how music can reach a wider audience.

One area of particular support that is mentioned is Reaction Radio PR who you can find on their website who help emerging bands and singers get their music played on radio.

As is tradition we round up with some quickfire questions.
