Listen to I'll Fly Away

Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Ryan Larkins started his songwriting journey early at 12-years-old where he began to forge his distinctive baritone sound singing and playing weekly at his home church. Those early performances got him noticed by the music industry and led to a deal with Sony Music Publishing. He’s since written with musical legends like Tony Lane, Tom Douglas, Lee Miller, Craig Wiseman, Tim Nichols, Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip and Country Music Hall of Fame member Bill Anderson. Bill earned his first Grammy nomination for “Someday It’ll All Make Sense,” a duet with Dolly Parton, that Larkins co-wrote. Ryan has landed cuts by major artists like Tim McGraw and Cody Johnson, landing his first #1 song with “The Painter,” which also earned him his debut ACM and CMA nominations for Song of the Year and led to his 2024 MusicRow Award for Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year and NSAI Award for Song of The Year. After launching his first Nashville Country release, Meet Ryan Larkins, followed by his second project, Bones, on Jay DeMarcus’ Red Street Records, Ryan has garnered fans around the country opening for acts like Willie Nelson, Ian Munsick and Priscilla Block as the direct support on her 2024 Hey Jack Tour. Ryan propelled through 2025 with new music including his most recent “You In Mind."
