UK GOSPEL’S BRIGHTEST STAR RYAN CARTY RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM‘ Journey To Purpose’ is the outstanding debut album from one of Britain’s most talented, up and coming gospel singer/songwriters Ryan Carty, and showcases his amazing talent as he sings songs of love, inspiration and hope.
The album features 11 songs, nine of which have been written solely by Ryan. He has also co-written one with leading UK praise and worship artist Noel Robinson, and co-wrote another with newcomer Jaki Carty.
Standout tracks include opening song, ‘Gratitude’, a mellow soul gospel number that encourages listeners to be grateful to God for their many blessings. ‘Keep on Keeping On’ is a funky exhortation to work towards ones goals despite obstacles, whilst Everything I Needed, a catchy dance number is a reminder of God’s providence.
‘I Won’t Quit’ calls on believers to trust God and resist temptation and ‘Lord Revive’ Me is a simple and beautifully sung ballad asking for spiritual revival; ‘Words Cannot Explain’, gives listeners a chance to hear the full range of Ryan’s five octave voice in a moving emotional ballad; ‘Now I’m Ready’ is a reggae influenced number featuring Watchman whilst ‘Didn’t You Know’, the last album track is a call entreating people to follow Christ and includes a rap from UK holy hip hop star Jahaziel.

It should be no surprise that Ryan Carty has released a quality album. It features the production talents of producers Clinton Jordan and Gavin Holigan, and there’s no doubt that Ryan has been an artist to watch ever since he won The Talk Gospel Radio Award for Best Male Vocalist at the age of 15. He also cites artists like Kim Burrell, Fred Hammond and Daryl Coley as major influences, and further honed his music and vocal craft through studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music.
A South Londoner, Ryan spent his youth as a member of the Greater Faith Ministries, where he became a Christian at the young age of 10. His music talent has been noted by his church, and he currently services as a worship leader, choir director and church keyboardist.
The album is already attracting rave reviews. Marcia Dixon, Gospel Music writer for The Voice is one of the first gospel journalists to hear the album and has described Journey To Purpose as an album of ‘exceptional quality’.
Ryan hopes that Journey To Purpose will particularly strike a chord with young people. “I am a young person myself, and in this day and age, we need all the help we can get to stay true to God and resist temptation. I believe the songs in this album will strengthen and encourage young people, and really help them to find their true purpose.”
