WHAT IT IS: Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Stacey Ryan is a true pop anomaly. A trained jazz pianist who also plays guitar, bass, ukulele and trumpet, the 21-year-old matches her musicality with a sharp instinct for crafting emotionally potent pop tracks—evident with her debut single, “Don’t Text Me When You’re Drunk.” What started as a TikTok collaboration earlier this year with Zai1k, the track translated into over a quarter million pre-saves and hundreds of millions of views in the first few weeks of release. Newly signed to Island, the Montreal native is poised to deliver a body of work showcasing the full extent of songwriting prowess and musical imagination.
