While the rest of the world prefers to go with the flow when it comes to education, job, and family, only a few dare to differ. These people are the dreamers who believe in what they do rather than believing in what society wants them to do. Ryan Hodge stands out as an example here. Although he realized his dreams much later in his life, it is definitely better late than never. The 41-year-old star is rocking the music world with his unique music setting new standards with every release.
The story of Ryan Hodge is unlike other aspiring talents who are working hard and dropping out of college to chase their passion. Ryan is a trailblazer for those lost dreams that are burdened with age and responsibilities. At 40, Ryan stepped into the music industry and is only continuing to grow. Being a family man and a father to a daughter could not deter his spirit to live his dreams.
Ryan was born and brought up in the countryside of Virginia. From childhood, he was recognized for his wonderful voice and always stood out as the best performer in the local gospel choir. It was during this time that Ryan felt drawn to music and embraced it for life. As life happened, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona, and started working as a bagger at a store earning a few dollars and then at a retail chain.
It was in 2020 when the pandemic hit that Ryan lost his job. All of a sudden he had to figure out a way to pay his bills and fund his daughter’s education. This led to several sleepless nights until he rediscovered his passion for music. What once started as a hobby and then a pastime was now going to be his career. It was a tough decision for him to start a career at 40 but he was left with no choice.
During this time, he was introduced to social media by his daughter. He learned about the endless opportunities that the platform offered to every aspiring artist irrespective of age. Soon he began recording his first single “Never Give-Up”. Within a few days of releasing his debut song on YouTube, Ryan was flooded with a lot of positive responses. People from around the world applauded his move and even felt connected to his music.
Ryan has managed to stand out from the crowd with his soulful compositions. He infused the rustic tone of country music with the rhythms of jazz in his music. His lyrics often highlight social issues that stand as an obstacle to people following their dream. His songs motivate people to break all social standards and chase their dreams no matter how difficult it seems. His songs have resonated with millions of dreamers who are passionate about music.
The music industry is always dominated by young talents. Breaking free of conventional practices and trends to make his own mark was quite challenging for Ryan, but he has managed to do it. Now he wants others to follow his path to embrace their dreams. Ryan feels this is only the beginning for him. He has more to offer to his fans and reach more people around the world with his music.
