Multi award winning singer/songwriter and VizzTone recording artist Deb Ryder has been dazzling audiences globally with her powerful, commanding, gritty vocals and raw, high energy live performances. She serves up a savory blend of rock, soul, gospel and roots based original blues with six record releases that have all garnered rave reviews and sustained chart topping success. Deb’s music receives regular airplay and acclaim on stations all over the world. Known for her talent and smart lyrics, Ryder provides a soundtrack for contemporary America and is a force to be reckoned with in the blues.

Born in Chicago Illinois, she began singing at the age of five joining her Dad, crooner Al Swanson on stage at several popular venues and churches in the area. Deb’s musical career began in her early teens when her mother moved the family to California and along with her stepfather opened the renowned Rock and Blues club the Topanga Corral. There, she opened for and performed with such legends as Etta James, Big Joe Turner, Taj Mahal and Canned Heat, all regulars at the club. These artists mentored Ryder, and it was then that her vision of herself as a singer, songwriter and performer began to take shape.

"Ryder’s musical mentors included such greats as Etta James, Taj Mahal and Big Joe Turner. Here, as tunesmith and vocal interpreter, she does those forebears proud, and stands tall alongside them."

Ryder enjoyed a very successful professional career performing on numerous national television commercials, motion pictures, and Las Vegas musicals, and had a long run as a session artist in L.A. Her first record "Might Just Get Lucky", recorded and produced by Deb and husband, bassist Ric Ryder was released in 2013 on her label BEJEB RECORDS, and put her on the blues radar! She then teamed up with Grammy award winning Producer / drummer Tony Braunagel, and released four critically acclaimed, chart topping records, "Let It Rain", on BEJEB RECORDS in 2015, "Grit Grease & Tears", "Enjoy The Ride", "Memphis Moonlight" and "Live and Havin' Fun" on VizzTone Records from 2016 - 2024.
