Minute After Midnight (Derrick Ryan) is a Tennessee-born singer, songwriter, and producer who fuses bright pop-punk, heartfelt emo, and intense metalcore. After honing his craft across diverse genres and independently releasing early tracks, his 2003 single "GHOST" went viral across social media and DSPs, landing in rotation on SiriusXM Octane. Surpassing 11 million Spotify streams, the momentum caught the attention of Fearless Records, leading to a label signing. Working alongside producer Matt Good in Phoenix, he channeled the nostalgic energy of Warped Tour mainstays to craft his full-length debut LP, Matter of Time.
