Hello, my name is Mark Ryan, and music was my first love. Life is tough, but the beautiful things we make out of it, are the things we carry forward. For me, it's the love of my family, the people I work with, and you. I wrote Skin to Soul to represent the things that we can't help but feel. I told my wife Michelle, you can't help but love what you love, what you love. What I found to be funny, is that it is not easy to love what you love, but it is the most important thing you can do in your life. I call it passion, Mark
