Bryn Ryan-VanDyke is a soulful alternative folk-pop singer-songwriter based in Hawaii, crafting music that blends vulnerable storytelling with cinematic arrangements and memorable melodic hooks. Known for her expressive voice and intimate, emotionally centered performances, Bryn connects with audiences through songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Danny Knapp has been a longtime collaborator in Bryn’s live lineup, performing with her for several years whenever she is on the mainland. His dynamic, supportive bass work brings weight, groove, and sensitivity to her arrangements—enhancing the emotional pulse of each performance while keeping the focus on Bryn’s voice and songwriting.
Danny also joined Bryn in the studio to record “It’s OK (Special Edition),” contributing a warm, expressive bass foundation that complements the song’s introspective tone and polished production. His ability to blend seamlessly into both acoustic-driven settings and fuller band arrangements makes him a natural fit for Bryn’s evolving musical palette.
