GonnaHappen is thrilled to celebrate the release of Michelle Ryder’s brand-new Single, “Crime Pays,” officially dropping April 28, 2025!
Michelle Ryder is an incredible emerging artist whose powerhouse vocals and emotional songwriting set her apart in today’s music scene. Co-written with her trusted collaborator Mark Horton and produced with the same magic, “Crime Pays“ is a fiery, tongue-in-cheek anthem that takes aim at bullies and backstabbers — a powerful message delivered with heart and attitude.
The title track has already been picking up momentum live, and now it’s finally available to stream and download everywhere. Even better, the buzz around Michelle is just getting started: “Crime Pays” is already getting picked up by Sirius XM, Rock Rage Radio, and receiving rave reviews from music industry legends like Russ Ballard (Santana, KISS), David Rashed (Haywire), and Pete Loran (Trixter).
