RYAN WHYTE MALONEY’S LIFE IN MUSIC

I realized at age 9 I could play guitar. As a kid, music would uplift me and make me feel calm, like a spiritual connection. I always felt like music was a language I knew and didn’t have to think about.

It’s as if it was embedded in my DNA. Music was the only thing I thought about and could envision myself doing with my life. I started writing my own music at age 17. I’ve been in the studio world since I was a child and in my 20’s I worked at Odds On studio, song writing, performing background vocals and guitar. I then co-produced my own album that I spent over a year working on. Ultimately, my dream was to soar with singers I looked up to as a kid. When I first heard Rascal Flatts, I identified with Gary LeVox’s vocal range and realized I had a place in the country music scene as well.

I moved to Las Vegas to be a rock star and to escape my country roots of Traverse City, Michigan. Going back home later when I was older and realizing I AM country and that’s the majority of what I sing and produce now makes me realize how it all came full circle. I guess it’s true…you can take the boy out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the boy. Country music is my favorite genre to sing because I feel like I approach it with a sort of sophistication. I put feeling and my soul into it. I can sing multiple genres of music and I like to add some flare to my vocals to give it a different spin.

When I decided to be on The Voice, I knew I would sing the song, Easy by Rascal Flatts. When I arrived, they asked if I could sing Rascal Flatts and Journey. I sang What Hurts The Most and Lights. I had to put all my gigs in Vegas on hold and hope they were still there when I returned. It was the biggest test of faith of my life. I was about to not only sing but also play guitar which they had to approve first, because they don’t usually allow that on the show. The lights came on, I started singing and playing guitar and I turned four chairs. In the battle rounds, I got paired with a partner and we were given three songs to choose from. I told my battle partner the only option there was for me to sing Easy. I won a few of the battle rounds, solidified a place in the top 5 and returned to appear on the season finale.

I’m currently performing live almost every night in Las Vegas. My record label, Belle Chasse Records is planning my upcoming tour to support several singles on my new album, I’m Gonna

Live. We recently released a music video and single for Don’t Put Me In A Box and Love With Nowhere To Go. Both were filmed partially in my hometown of Traverse City, MI and in my current home, Las Vegas, NV. I have several more songs and videos to be released this year. Don’t Put Me In A Box has been played on country FM radio since

January of 2023 and Love With Nowhere

To Go is hitting the airwaves now. I’ve been traveling nationally, performing and conducting interviews at radio stations. I recently opened for Parmalee in Las Vegas and performed at a festival, opening for Frank Ray. I’m excited about what the future holds and enjoying the progress in my career.
