Proud Big Sister

I need to brag on my baby sister, Rhyan. Here's one of the things you'd get if you "Googled" her: "Video promotion manager/songwriter for Shamrock Media. Lover of Life. Passionate about Jesus. Psalm 139". Rhyan has been in Nashville, Tennessee for the past few years following her dream of songwriting. She's pretty awesome at it, and I'm not just saying that because she's my sister! She really is good.


One of the songs she co-wrote with her friends Jared and Colton has now made it to the radio. I've only heard it on KLRC (our local christian station) twice now, but I get chills when it comes on! I just think it's so cool that my baby sister wrote something that I can listen to on the radio, and most importantly that her songs always convey a positive message!

Here's a link to their song, entitled "You Are". This is the live version Colton and Jared did for KLove.

If you liked that song, you may also like some of these on the site Reverbnation that she also co-wrote with Jared.

Here's just one more video that I just found when I Googled her. David Crowder band actually wrote this song, but this is her singing the cover, and I actually like her version better (shocker, I'm sure!).

Rhyan has always been a light for me. Her faith in God and passion for life is so inspiring!! If you're reading this sister, I love you! (And I also liked this last picture of you because it gave another glimpse into your awesome personality, and hair!)
