Ryan Perdz is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist from Buffalo whose alternative rock sound draws heavily from grunge and 1990s rock. Influenced by artists including Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Led Zeppelin, he pairs a gritty baritone voice with melodic guitar-driven songwriting centered on isolation, self-doubt, relationships, and perseverance. Perdz first built a large audience through acoustic covers and original performances on social media before signing with Big Machine Rock in 2025. His catalog includes “Paradise,” “Angel In a Black Dress,” “Temporary,” “Talking Bout Yourself,” “Sour,” “Heavy Eyes,” and “Blood On My Love,” while his 2026 debut album Can't Cry established his transition from viral rock performer to full-length recording artist.
