Following on the heals of his critically acclaimed album Causewayend, This life was written over the past three years. This new material blends the pride in his Scottish heritage and his infectious passion for life. This combination has led to a wonderfully inspired CD that reflects his heritage and roots, utilizing smatterings of his native tongue, Doric – a unique dialect spoken in North East Scotland – as well as two fabulously crafted love songs and several social commentary songs built around his strong rhythmic acoustic guitar playing, melodic vocals, and pop/folk inclinations.
Donn’s song In This life has just been selected for the 2008 Music B.C. compilation CD, while There For You is the first single released off the new CD and is receiving rave reviews through media and is being played daily in rotation on SILK FM, KISS FM, and 15 other stations across B.C.

This Life is a superb encore CD to Ryan’s inaugural 2005 album, Causewayend. Causewayend, in it’s masterful lyrics and appeal, provided many opportunities for Donn including performing with 54-40, a tour of Japan and Expo 2005, and winning Male Performer of the Year 2005 at the Okanagan Music Awards.
Further comments by media regarding Ryan and This Life:
This is a beautiful album, a personal piece of work, and one that is destined to put Ryan on the national and international stage he deserves. - Charlie Hodge, BC Musician Magazine,
Magically enraptures his listeners. - Tony, The Well
There are two songs on this album which are truly brilliant, In This Life and Love Will Lead You Home as well as several more that rank superb. They boast fabulous vocals, versatility, tremendous musicianship, and inspired passionate lyrics. From the high energy opening tune Yeah, Yeah to the closer Love Will Leave You Home this album totally kicks – Kelowna Capital News
Wow! Great vibe, outstanding vocal abilities. Top notch playing and production- Luke Redd, Okanagan Life Magazine

There are several songs that could work as the single. We are adding ‘There for You’ to our highest rotation. – Mark Jeffries, Music Director, Silk Fm
Killer Production, great packaging, great tunes and musicianship, I will be forwarding it to my label contacts in Vancouver. - Bob Mills, Power 104
