Warner Music Nashville and busbee’s Altadena have co-signed newcomer Ryan Griffin. His busbee-produced blend of country and soul is demonstrated on previously-released tracks “Good Company,” “Play It By Heart” and “Best Cold Beer,” the latter of which SiriusXM The Highway featured as part of their influential “On the Horizon” show.
As a songwriter, Griffin penned Kelsea Ballerini’s 2016 Platinum-certified No. 1 hit “Dibs.”
