Max Ryan
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/max-ryan/Max’s story began on the football pitch, where he showcased his exceptional talents as a professional footballer for Watford FC. However, after being released from The Hornets Max decided to take up his second passion in life, music!
Now instead of composing himself in front of goal Max finds himself hidden away writing and releasing new music,and instead of playing on a rainy day in Stoke, he’s now performing in front of thousands of people, reaching competition finals, and playing festivals up and down the country.
This change allowed Max to gain a new purpose in life, helping others in the community, and passing on knowledge and skills he’d experienced, and ones he now shows in his music.
