Richmond, VA – October 23, 2026 – Christian pop/rock artist Nik Ryan continues to build a story of honest lyrics paired with eclectic sounds with the release of his third single, “Broken Man,” available now through NRT Music. The deeply personal anthem of repentance, redemption, and transformation reflects Ryan’s heart for creating music that speaks to those who have experienced brokenness and discovered the life-changing grace of Jesus Christ.
“Broken Man” explores the pursuit of temporary happiness and the painful realization that the things we chase often leave us emptier than before. With honest lyrics and a powerful declaration of faith, Ryan confronts the choices that once pulled him away from God while celebrating the freedom found in surrendering his life to Christ.
“Broken Man” (Official Lyric Video)
At the heart of the song is a message of transformation. Rather than allowing past mistakes to define his future, Ryan embraces the promise of a new beginning. The chorus delivers a defiant declaration that he will no longer be defined by the broken man he once was, while the bridge reflects on the journey from spiritual blindness to redemption and renewed purpose.
For Ryan, the song’s message is rooted in the belief that our scars don’t have to be the end of our stories. Even the most painful chapters can become testimonies of God’s faithfulness, and every setback offers another opportunity to get back up, turn toward Him, and keep moving forward.
Produced and arranged by Coby James, “Broken Man” blends modern Christian pop/rock with Ryan’s raw, testimony-driven songwriting. The single was written by Nicholas McCray, Michael McCray, and Coby James Martin, with publishing through Nashville Christian Songwriters.
A native of Richmond, Virginia, Ryan has been steadily developing his sound following a Nashville songwriting retreat in 2025 that inspired him to pursue professional recording sessions with James. Drawing from personal trials, family, and a faith that has carried him through difficult seasons, Ryan is establishing himself as an emerging voice in Christian music with songs that offer honesty without sacrificing hope.
“Broken Man” follows Ryan’s first two singles and arrives as he prepares for a new year of music in 2027. With his debut release already receiving radio airplay, Ryan continues to introduce listeners to a sound that pairs contemporary production with the heart of an artist who understands what it means to be broken, restored, and forever changed.
“Broken Man” is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other major streaming platforms.
