Ryan Innes has always been one for breaking the ice. From his newsboy cap to his bold kicks, his personal style makes him "fat and sassy," but it is his wit and boldness that will make you fall in love. His self-titled EP tastes like dark chocolate, smells like musk, and feels like silk. Ryan’s voice will dig deep into your memories and help you release emotions long repressed in a way that is new and inspiring.
