About Me



OFFICIAL Ryan Paul & THE ARDENT Site
www.ryanpaulandtheardent.com

"Lyrically, Paul reveals vulnerability without being angst-filled or precious, humbly exploring themes ranging from societal nonchalance about war to reclaimed innocence. In a musical climate where critics have spent years in adoration of music with “soul”, Paul’s music is brimming with his spirit. It’s unassuming, uncensored and pure."..... Read More

"The arrival of their debut full-length, "La Vita Nova," comes after Paul spent some time living in New York City, so perhaps that explains the slightly urban and gritty quality to the work that separates it out from the legions of Jayhawks imitators in their midst."..... Read More
