Ryan Hylton is a Christian singer and songwriter who started making music in his home church from the age of 12 . He is passionate about sharing his faith through his music and uses his gifts as a vehicle to deliver the message of Jesus. Ryan often shares his testimony through music and uses his song writing ability as a way to encourage others and believes music to be one of the most powerful spiritual tools that shape the imaginative faculty of people. He released his EP “Journey” which was published on all streaming platforms on May 1st. Ryan released his first studio album on 1st December 2020 entitled “Legacy” which peaked at 13th position in the UK Christian & Gospel Apple Charts. Influenced by such iconic talents as Jonathan McReynolds, Justin Bieber, Tauren Wells, H.E.R., and homegrown talent Ernie Toppin & Nathan Palmer, Ryan writes music as one of the vehicles to minister the Gospel. Over the years Ryan has seen success in the UK with his music played on recognizable UK Gospel radio stations such as Premier Gospel & UCB 1. Ryan is a Premier Gospel ”Best Newcomer”, StepFWD Awards ”Artist of the Year” and ”Collaboration of the Year” nominee. In November 2021 Premier Gospel nominated Ryan to perform at the Apollo Theatre alongside Grammy Award winners Koryn Hawthorne and Mali Music.
StepFWD Awards is inspired by Romans 12:10: “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honour.” The main focus is just that – showing honour to those blessing us with their musical giftings – without leaving anyone out. Expect to see new and current artists celebrated alongside those who have contributed for decades oftentimes never receiving the recognition deserved. Their combined efforts have created the diverse and lively faith-inspired music scene we have in the UK today – Song of The Year nominees alone span twelve categories across numerous genres!
Date: Saturday 11th November 2023 || Time: 5:30pm (Red Carpet) || Venue: Fairfield Halls, Croydon, CR9 1DG
