After 8 years in the most Bohemian Prague, he’s returned to conquer to UK music scene and show off what he’s learned, while teaching a few people some lessons!

From a young age, Ryan Prazer was drawn to the energy and ethos of punk rock, but chose to strip it down to its core, performing pop and reggae covers with a punk style for years with just an acoustic guitar. This unique blend of familiar acoustic melodies and punk attitude has set Ryan apart in the music scene, offering a fresh take on a beloved genre.

His original music is a powerful blend of personal storytelling and social commentary, touching on themes of resistance, identity, and the everyday struggles of life. With a voice that resonates with authenticity and an undeniable charisma that captivates audiences, Ryan Prazer has quickly become a favourite in local venues and beyond.

After 7 years performing in Luton, St Albans, Bedford + London- Ryan moved to Stourbridge in the West Midlands to record his first EP ‘Terrorist’ in 2017 before jetting off to Prague and becoming the house musician and renowned barman for the number 1 bar in Prague!*

Last year in 2024 - Ryan returned home with a wealth of knowledge, a new album in the works and a bunch of new songs to shout about!

He joined Luton Comic Con, Black Country Multicultural Day and Love Music Hate Racism in fighting against hate, and created a new movement called ‘Don’t Be S.A.D’ in order to fight the winter blues! 2025 is set to be huge for Ryan, with new merch, new gigs and a new album releasing in October!

The new songs from the upcoming album ‘The Legend of Spike Vicious’ are already set to change the tone- with live versions of ‘Never Piss Off The Barman’ and ‘Whatever They’ll Hate You For’ taking off on social media!

Ryan's journey from the streets of Luton to the broader music world is a testament to his talent and dedication. With a growing fanbase and a series of electrifying performances, Ryan is poised to make a significant impact on the UK music scene.
