"I am Ryder Reynolds; formely known as Raystar. I was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Making music has been my passion as well as my release for over 13 years now. My music is inspired by real people and events in my life. It's not always serious and it's not always silly, but it is always honest. I want my music to relate to people and inspire creative thought as well as just be something you put on when you can't think of anything else to listen to."

Ryder Reynolds AKA Raystar has shared the stage with the likes of Atmosphere and Dr. Octogon among many others. With two albums deep into the game, "Raystar Volume One and a half" and "Low-fi, Broke, and Frustrated" reflects upon his satirical attitude and struggle as an artist.
