In this episode of the Music You’re Missing podcast, host Brendan Jeannetti interviews rising Nashville artist RYMAN, whose viral TikTok hit "Lose" is gaining attention for its emotional lyrics and unique blend of country and indie influences.

They discuss how RYMAN’s TikTok strategy helped catapult "Lose" into the spotlight, how he defines his genre as “Y’alternative,” and the behind-the-scenes journey from bedroom pop beginnings to opening for Ben Kweller on his first-ever tour.

Key topics include:

- How "Lose" became a viral TikTok hit months after its initial post

- What “Y’alternative” music means and how RYMAN is shaping the genre

- His transition from bedroom pop to creative independence

- The impact of dropping out of college to pursue music full time

- Co-signs from artists like Role Model, Beabadoobee, and Lola Young

- The experience of building a debut tour from scratch

- Balancing growth, vulnerability, and momentum as an independent artist

RYMAN’s story is one of persistence, self-discovery, and redefining what success looks like in the modern music industry.
