About Me

Michael Ryder is a Singer/Songwriter from the city of Liverpool. Born on the 7th December 1987, he grew up playing football on the streets and guitar in his bedroom. He started playing guitar at the age of ten but never took it serious until the age of fifteen. At that age, he gave up the dream of becoming the next Slash, began writing his own songs and fell in love with performing.He was given the chance to record in Parr Street Studios when he first met John Withnall at 17 and this helped him mature as a musician and songwriter but also lead to a good friendship.An OK musician with an OK voice, just enjoying playing his own music to people who like to listen!
