Ryan Coleman, a Bucks County native and Penn State Class of 2020 alum, stunned during his blind audition and TV debut onNBC's The Voice on March 11. Coleman’s country-rock rendition of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” was powerful enough to make pop-country duo Dan+Shay turn their chair.

While learning to play the guitar in second grade, Coleman instantaneously developed a love for music. Growing up on a farm, Coleman mostly listened to country music yet felt a connection to the R&B and soul singer Bill Withers. Although they have different styles of singing, Coleman said he can relate to Withers’ path in the music industry.

With his strong work ethic and love of good country music, the future looks bright for Ryan Coleman.
