Singer songwriter Bryn Ryan-Van Dyke is as inspiring as it gets. She chose to follow her dreams, even if it meant a scary leap into the unknown, in her case, the business of being a musical artist. She taught her self to sing, and learned to play guitar, and from there she has played some of the most iconic venues in Hollywood and beyond. What sounds like a fairy tale however has been the result of hard work; Bryn has put in the hard yards necessary to achieve her success. We have been following her career for a while now, and with her new single, ‘It’s My Movie’, and its message of taking control of your life, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to tap into how she thinks.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You are quoted as saying that you consider your music career to be your second life. Could you please go into some details about that? What were you doing before, and what is it about what you\u2019re doing now that makes it so different?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d say my\u00a0music is a second and “parallel” life.\u00a0 I did start later than most, so it could be viewed as a second life as I juggle a career in technology.\u00a0 Sometimes it does feel like I have two “separate” but simultaneous lives because each is so different.\u00a0 In essence, my life is very full with Music being a big part of my individuality.\u00a0 Music is the main contributor to making my life more fun and fulfilling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think we can all have second lives?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think everyone has demands and circumstances that pull in different directions and require different energies. I think we can strive to keep true to our “selves”, what makes us individuals in how we deal with the scenarios we find ourselves in, that is the key.\u00a0 If you have a passion you can cultivate in your life, you’re halfway there.\u00a0 Often it’s not easy, but the journey is a big part of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, with your new single, \u2018It\u2019s My Movie\u2019, you encourage your listeners to take hold of their destiny and live their lives as they wish. How can people go about making those changes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the first step is believing in yourself.\u00a0 Then envision where you want to be and what you need to start down the road to accomplish that goal. Envisioning a goal can give you purpose that makes you feel lifted.\u00a0 Making choices that take you in that direction stimulates courage no matter how small the step.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t sure what my destiny was, but I knew I had a passion for writing and music that I needed to explore.  I knew I had to start going in that direction to find my destiny as illustrated in “It’s My Movie” lyric “along the way there’s a galaxy that might be right for you”.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think most people have the luxury to simply live their lives as they wish, unfortunately.  But I do think the key is to appreciate what we do have every day. Listen to that inner voice and strive for something that matters to you.  Take steps to make it happen and be brave.  Your individuality makes you special, and you’ll have a more interesting life if your journey includes a path to a dream.  To me, the goal is to look back and feel you did the best you can and are in a better place for believing in yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice have you been given over the years that has really inspired you, and that you feel free to share with our readers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Dad, who inspired my single “Go Long” told me to make the best decisions you can then move on.\u00a0 Don’t second guess.\u00a0 As far as music is concerned, I think of that often when writing songs as there are always so many options. Do the best you can, work it until\u00a0you feel you have the best representation of what you’re trying to get across..and finalise it.\u00a0 You then have a new song that can be shared along with a feeling of accomplishment.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who are your musical inspirations, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m inspired by emotion stirring lyrics with\u00a0an edge. . There’s a certain percussive\u00a0beet that makes me want to move.\u00a0 I really liked Alanis Morrissette, her lyrics, percussion choices, and the rockin’ edge.\u00a0 Melissa Etheridge was a favorite.\u00a0 I think Pat Benatar made me want to be a singer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, who inspires you in your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most inspirational influence in my life was my Dad.\u00a0 He was humble and lived his life doing what needed to be done for his\u00a0family and others in need even though his life likely\u00a0didn’t turn out as he had expected or dreamed.\u00a0 He made a difference to many and I was very blessed to have him in my life.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next for Bryn Ryan-Van Dyke? What can fans expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll definitely be releasing new songs.\u00a0 I’ll have shows both in California and Hawaii.\u00a0 And, I’m dipping my toe into a Rock Opera. Fun times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, what\u00a0question\u00a0do you wish someone would ask you in an\u00a0interview, but nobody ever does?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely not this\u00a0question, Ha! Just kidding.. I am honored that there\u00a0are people interested enough to ask me\u00a0questions. I’m always impressed by the thought behind what people ask, and I’m challenged each time.\u00a0 I look forward to continually\u00a0 being challenged.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
