With over a decade of experience under his belt, Hertfordshire based Ryder DJ has forged a reputation for his eclectic style, versatility and ability to captivate any audience, whether it be a thousand-strong summer festival or a hundred-something intimate venue.
Ryder’s introduction to the music industry was via guest slots and residencies on pirate, internet and community radio. He also promoted club nights in London, Essex and Hertfordshire before undertaking formal qualifications including BTEC ND in Music Technology and BA Hons in Music & Arts Management.
Now signed to London’s leading JW DJ Agency, Ryder has graced the United Kingdom's most prestigious venues, including Ministry of Sound, Pacha, Egg and The Stirling (London’s famous Gherkin building) as well as summer residencies in Spain, Cyprus and Portugal. He has also supported some of the biggest artists in the game, DJ EZ, Skream and Chase & Status to name just a few.
Further afield, Ryder has received worldwide recognition for presenting a radio show on the infamous Manic FM, success in the Coors Light UK x Mixmag DJ Search and hosting numerous celebrity parties and providing the soundtrack for fresh, innovative brands. This mix of talent, dedication and persistence has been rewarded with features and interviews in countless online and printed publications including YAB and Mauritius Now.
2022 saw Ryder take his first steps in transitioning into an artist in his own right with two official releases on 0212 Records and dZb Records respectively. Expect more original music, remixes and collaborations in 2023 - he’s just getting started!
