Ryan Brown is a 17-year-old singer-songwriter with an already illustrious career. Ryan has performed at countless events, including The Sound Mind Network Music Festival featuring superstars Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon of the Bacon Brothers, Johnny Showcase of America’s Got Talent, viral TikTok musicians Cory Singer and ElectraQueens, and celebrity chef Tony Luke Jr. Ryan has also been seen singing the National Anthem for The Baltimore Ravens, The Baltimore Orioles, The Cincinnati Reds, and performed the Anthem for the Boston Red Sox. Ryan’s music showcases the depth and vulnerability of being a teenager and explores the ups and downs that people of all ages experience. Aside from her love for singing, Brown also enjoys playing guitar, piano, and ukulele.
The rising singer-songwriter has released the new single “Carousel‘, now available on all digital streaming platforms. At the young age of 17 years old, the singer-songwriter has proven to be an old soul as she writes authentically about the highs and lows of teenage life. “Carousel” is an upbeat tune all about Ryan’s unique perspective on relationships. To Ryan, a good relationship is one that can endure ups and downs. The single artistically illustrates the whirlwind of emotions and excitement that comes with entering a new relationship, followed by the rude reminder that eventually, every ride has its end.
The catchy chorus offers poignant metaphors about the inevitability and duality of life, including, ‘Leaves will fall and candles will burn/ I knew we wouldn’t make it but that doesn’t make it easier.‘ Ryan compares relationships to a carousel, with unavoidable rises and falls, and addresses her naivety in her past relationships, singing, ‘I hoped that we could beat the cycle/ I hoped we’d never change.’ But, Ryan still has hope as she claims, ‘Someday I’ll find someone and we’ll ride this carousel.’
The track is written by Ryan Brown, and produced by Stephen Rezza and Joe “The Butcher” Nicolo.
