Met Uriel Jones

Ryan also had the honor of meeting Motown legend Uriel Jones during his visit to Calgary. They shared the stage at a local event, where Uriel—known as one of the original Funk Brothers—took a moment to offer Ryan some heartfelt advice: "Do what you love, and let the music lead you." That message stuck with Ryan and continues to inspire his journey as an artist.
