About Me

My name is Ryan Smith. I write songs and record them in my room at school on my computer. I hope you enjoy them, and if you want to contact me to tell me how much you dislike the songs, email me at [email protected]. Every time I do a new recording, (which have been in abundance lately), I take down the oldest and post the new one. If you want a copy of any of the songs, all you need to do is send me an email or a message with your email address. Thank you. However, if you don't like my music, (and don't feel obligated to like it, I don't even know you for God's sake), I encourage you to check out the good music on MySpace. Please look into my best friend Nathan's music. I also make music with him collectively under the moniker Midnight Music . Nathan's stuff is really good, so I hope you'll look into it. He's fantastic. Thank you again for stopping by.
On a personal note, my girlfriend Anna's older brothers recently made an intriguing appearance on the well-respected courtroom television program, Judge Joe Brown. Enjoy. .. width="425" height="350" ..
