Word of this growing activity quickly spread to local, commercial radio and nationwide college radio. Ryan has done on-air interviews and in-studio performances at dozens various stations. He has had songs placed on TV networks such as Lifetime, MTV, The "N" and also various film projects. He has a growing live fan base routinely selling out shows in his home town of Santa Rosa, California. His song, "Thank You" was chosen by the people at TARGET to put on their compilation CD called, Acoustic Mood which was released on October 15th. Ryan was 1 of 2 unsigned artists that were featured on that 17 track CD. After the release of Acoustic Mood, the programming director on SIRIUS Satellite Radio was overwhelmed with requests to play Ryan. "Thank You" is now currently being played daily on Acoustic Coffee House, Channel 30. Since then, three additional songs have also been added into the rotation. Ryan was also recently featured on a podcast by music industry powerhouse BMI which stacked him against 3 other artists in a battle-of-the-bands format in which the winner was determined by fans votes. Ryan more than doubled the record of votes for any artist that had been featured on any of the previous BMI podcasts and easily won the competition.
Huston was then brought to Los Angeles by acclaimed producer Chris Lee to record 7 new songs that showcase his growing talent for compelling and meaningful songwriting. Music industry interest began brewing before the recordings were even completed. Ryan's follow up album "Ordinary Day" was released early December '07 and was quick to receive high marks and outstanding reviews. This album was also written, performed and produced entirely by Ryan.
In June of 2008, Ryan signed with an Independent label True Anthem, where he set a record as the most downloaded artist. A year later, he finished his third album, "This Life." It was released in December '09 and featured such hits as "Love You Forever" and "Beautiful Day." He is currently in talks with major labels and showing amazing promise.

This Life
Ryan Huston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's such a time to be alive.
It's such a mystery,
You're such a mystery tonight.
And only you, know me like a winter knows the rain.
And only you, know just how to make it all okay.
With the lights down low,
we'll take it slow, and send the fools away.
And I'll always love you more than yesterday.
I love you more than you will ever know.
How sweet this life, I'll never let you go.
Nothing compares to holding onto you,
I love you more, this I confess to you, confess to you.
What a lovely face, such a lovely place to know.
I've never felt this way, just feels like home.
With the lights down low, we'll dance real slow,
and whisper while we sway.
And I'll always love you more, than yesterday.
I love you more than you will ever know.
How sweet this life, ill never let you go.
Nothing compares to holding onto you,
I love you more, this I confess to you.
So tell me all your secrets,
tell me what you wanted.
This beautiful life, you're beautiful to me.
And dreams are worth the chasing,
Love is for the making.
So close your eyes, and whisper back to me.
I love you more than you will ever know.
How sweet this life, I'll never let you go.
nothing compares to holding onto you,
I love you more, this I confess to you,
I confess to you.
I confess to you.
I confess to you.
I confess to you.
It's true, you're beautiful
