“People often talk about “stars” in the broadcast business. Some are exceptionally talented or bright, while others are steady and strong. Ryan is is not a star. He is a comet. Stars are cool, but comets take your breath away. He is exceptionally talented, bright, steady AND strong, and everywhere he goes, he leaves a bright glowing streak of creativity. If you have the chance to work with Ryan, drop everything else and jump.”

“I first met Ryan while he was doing an appearance for his old radio station at a car dealership….I started talking with him and he told me what he did there and told him that I worked at WPLJ…From then on we kept in touch and traded some audio every once in a while. I noticed he improved drastically in a short amount of time..and then when I was asked for any recommendations to fill a job in the company, I brought up Ryan’s name. He was flown in and offered the job soon after. I’m really proud of Ryan…And based on how much he’s accomplished in a relatively short amount of time, he’s making his mark. He’s well rounded radio pro. Air personality, production, writing, voiceover…Versatility is the name of the game..and he does it all. Great guy who you need to work with!”

“Ryan does terrific audio imaging and production work. He’s always eager and quick to learn and try new things, and slow to accept status quo as acceptable. He works well on his own, but is a welcomed collaborator on teams. All that and he has pretty good taste in music too!”

“The great part about Ryan’s imaging is the versatility.  Programming multiple formats as diverse as Hot AC, oldies, sports, rock and AC normally requires more then 1 imaging mind.  But Ryan gets every format, and gets it right.  Having complete trust in Ryan’s production allows me to concentrate on other areas without having to worry.”

“I have only worked with Ryan directly for a few months. In that time he has shown me he can take our imaging to a whole new level. Ryan is very creative and will turn your imaging into a work of art. He started out imaging only one station here and now, because he is so talented, we have him imaging three of our stations. He has shown that he can handle multiple formats. He takes the direction that is given and brings back a product that is better than I thought it could have been. In this day and time of radio, what PD has the time to sit and do imaging all day? Let Ryan help with that. He is great to work with, is always willing to turn it around quickly and won’t tie you up having to do everything over because you didn’t like it the first time. Every time I get a piece back from him, I am blown away. I would highly recommend Ryan Drean to image your station and help take it to the next level.”
