Meet Management Team Member Ryan Darnell


Over a span of 15 years, Ryan (drummer for Innercorse and Even The Odd) has been an active member in the music industry. He signed with Madonna’s Maverick Records in 1999 and recorded with producer Dave Jerden (Alice in Chains). He also landed deals with Volcano Records, and New York Indie Label-Wrong Records with distribution through Sony’s Red Ink (Distribution). Darnell has also worked with producers such as Ron St. Germain (311, Tool, Bad Brains, U2, Mos Def, Jimi Hendrix), GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Chris Shaw (Sum 41, Sheryl Crow, Weezer, Cypress Hill) and co-label owner Daniel Wise (John Mayer, Scissor Sisters, Secret Machines). World-Renowned Producer, Rick Rubin (Def Jam Records, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Slayer) has been quoted as saying that ‘He (Ryan Darnell) is the next John Bonham’.

After numerous tours and shows, Darnell decided to play on the other side of the stage and pursue the management side of music. With more than a decade of music industry experience, his goal is to now actively take his artists’ career to the next level of success. Even in a managerial role, Ryan is never far from the music scene. He still actively works with the likes of Peter Lewit (NYC entertainment law attorney who represents some of the world’s most successful musical talent) and Ron St. Germain (311, Tool, U2, Mos Def, Jimi Hendrix). Tagline Media Management was formed because life is too long to wait for success to come to you.
