Bangkok-based singer-songwriter Daniel Ryn returns with his narrative-driven single “The Story of Bike Dan from Alabama,” to mark his comeback.
Thai singer-songwriter Daniel Ryn returns after a long hiatus with a bold new direction. This time, he embraces a Southern flair and steps into a cowboy-inspired persona on his latest single, “The Story of Bike Dan from Alabama.”
Instead of chasing an immediate hook, Daniel lets the song unfold at its own pace. The indie track leans into patience and repetition, gradually building emotional depth.
Through its narrative, he explores fractured friendships, shifting loyalties, and the quiet strain that emerges when money, status, and circumstance begin to outweigh genuine intent. As a result, the song rewards listeners who are willing to sit with its tension rather than rush to resolution.
At the same time, this release reflects a broader shift within Bangkok’s and Thailand’s alternative scene. Daniel aligns himself with artists who challenge audiences to listen more closely and engage more deeply. Rather than following trends, he prioritizes storytelling and atmosphere.
In the accompanying music video, Daniel fully embodies “Bike Dan,” bringing the character’s wandering adventures to life. Moreover, the single offers the first preview of his upcoming album, Daylight Saving Time.
He plans to roll out the project as an interconnected universe, blending single releases, short-form episodes, and even a talk show persona known as The Host. Daniel favors cohesion and tone over quick hits, signaling a confident and carefully crafted new chapter.

About the Thai Singer
Daniel Ryn is a Bangkok-based multidisciplinary artist who moves fluidly between music, live culture, and visual storytelling. He blends indie pop, disco, and lo-fi textures, then layers them with diaristic lyrics drawn from late nights, emotional burnout, and steady resilience. As a result, his songs feel intimate and lived-in rather than flashy or manufactured.
Moreover, Ryn takes a fully hands-on approach to his craft. He writes and produces his own material, while also curating and actively participating in the local music scene. Instead of treating songs as isolated releases, he views music as part of a larger ecosystem that includes venues, audiences, and a carefully shaped narrative identity. He aims to create export-ready music grounded in Southeast Asia, prioritizing long-term sustainability over fleeting buzz.
