Hi, I’m Ryder Johnson—a Nashville-based multi-genre songwriter, producer, and A&R-focused creative. I specialize in identifying commercially viable records and pairing emerging talent with the right opportunities, blending hands-on songwriting and studio production with strategic artist development. I’m driven by the thrill of collaborative creation and the craft of shaping a song from concept to release-ready product. Over the years I’ve built an active catalog across hip-hop, pop, and beyond, working with artists, writers, and producers to deliver records that resonate commercially while staying artistically authentic. I value clear communication, creative direction in the studio, and long-term growth for the artists I support.
