Upcoming Release
“Raggedy Ann” my latest song release is scheduled for release on May 22, 2026. The song was inspired by my songwriter partner John W Selleck – a vision of a homeless woman living life on her own terms . The character was imagined as a worn yet unbroken “Raggedy Ann” figure, shaped by hardship but never defined by it.
The lyrics are written in a stylized dialect that reflects the character’s voice and environment, bringing authenticity and emotional depth to the storytelling.
Produced as a reggae-blues fusion in G minor , the song blends laid-back reggae rhythms with expressive blues-inspired guitar phrasing. The vocal delivery was intentionally adapted to match the lyrical style and mood of the track, using phrasing and accent choices that authentically reflect the world of the song.
Pre-save now and be the first to hear it on release day.

Hi, I’m Ryan Dsouza, a Vancouver-based vocalist, emerging singer-songwriter, and music producer. As a proud Canadian independent artist, I create and release 100% MAPL-certified music [Learn more.]
Music is a gift I feel truly blessed to have, and I embrace every opportunity to share it—whether in the studio, on stage, or through heartfelt collaborations with fellow artists.
While I began my journey as a vocalist, I’m now expanding my craft as a songwriter and producer—blending island vibes, reggae rhythms, soulful ballads, and pop-rock melodies to shape a sound that’s uniquely mine.
I also enjoy performing cover music and staying connected to the local scene. I’m currently the lead vocalist for Douglas Crossing Band, a dynamic group known for its high-energy performances of classic rock, soul, blues, and pop hits.
Outside the music world, I work full-time as a Director at a leading Canadian company balancing corporate leadership with studio sessions and live gigs.
I’m also the founder of RD Music Collective, a platform to help independent artists grow their audience and get heard. Whether you’re here to stream, book a show, or simply explore my musical journey — I truly appreciate you visiting my website.
