Ryland James Clark (born 1999), known professionally as Ryland James, is a Canadian pop singer from Deseronto, Ontario,[1] whose self-titled debut EP was released in 2020.[2]

As a teenager, he was a competitor on the seventh season of The Next Star in 2014, finishing in fifth place.[3] Professionally, he uses his middle name as his stage surname, so as to avoid potential confusion with British singer and presenter Rylan Clark-Neal.[1]

He released his debut single "Good to You" in 2017, and followed up in 2019 with "Say Goodbye" and his breakthrough hit "In My Head".[4] Through 2019, he toured as an opening act for Alessia Cara on her The Pains of Growing Tour;[4] in February 2020, his fourth single "Shoulder to Cry On" was released.[5] His self-titled EP was released in August 2020, and was followed in December by the Christmas release A Little Christmas.[6]

James received two Juno Award nominations at the Juno Awards of 2021, for Pop Album of the Year and Breakthrough Artist of the Year.[7]

He came out as queer in February 2021.[8]
