About Me

My goal is not to get signed or sell CDs. I am here to raise awareness about Bipolar Disorder. I am Bipolar and my songs are a theraputic way for me to express my thoughts and feelings. Wether you have Bipolar Disorder or not, I think you will be able to identify with the message in my songs. If you dont have Bipolar Disorder, you probably know somone who does. See my friend David's website @ www.SurvivingBipolar.comMuch Love,Derrick Ryan
