Jay Ryan Beretti is a singer, songwriter, and musician whose career bridges musical heritage with a distinctly modern sound.
His debut album Runaway Heart (1999) revealed his dual talent for original songwriting and reimagining the spirit of the 1950s–60s. That same year, American legend Big Al Downing entrusted him with the heartfelt ballad Runaway Heart — a song that soon became a cornerstone of his artistic journey.
Twenty-five years later, Jay brings this timeless story back to life. With a matured voice full of emotion, enriched by a warm Hammond B3 and soulful backing vocals, he has shaped a refined and modern production marked by both precision and depth.
Mastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound, Nashville), the new version stands as a contemporary Country Pop ballad — preserving the soul of the original while embracing an international, cinematic sound.
Today, Jay Ryan Beretti embodies the essence of an artist and producer who honors his roots while crafting timeless, universal music that resonates across generations.
