About our founder and company's history
In the beginning:
In 2017, John Martin Ryan was about to move to the northern Michigan area where he would have to find a new job. Having been in college for music theory, home studio production, and piano, he decided to try and set out to start his own music company. He loves music more than anything in the world and he would always go to Lake Lansing PARK NORTH to just clear his mind of the world's troubles and walk through the trails playing music, or would bring along his guitar or ukulele and just play to the stillness of nature. It was there that his love for music blossomed and he knew that he wanted to start this company. He has been a professional musician since the age of 13 so he knows the ins and outs of the industry fairly well. With the company having an artist as the founder, we naturally want our clients to succeed and we understand their needs firsthand.

Who We Are Today:
Over the years we have added to the list of things his company does, 1 thing at a time. From starting out with only recording music, to now doing almost everything under the sun that you can put your mind to because we want to see everyone grow as a person and if this company can help in any way shape or form then Park North is willing to see it through.
A perk of having a musician who's heavily involved in the music industry being the founder is the connections. With the connections John has made over the years, whether it's within the music industry or just great businesses you will have access to getting exactly what you need when you need it.
​
One of our biggest core values is not screwing anyone over! Sounds a bit obvious right? Well when it comes to the arts industry it's the Wild Wild West here in the digital age, and we like to think of ourselves as the general store that you can come to with any honest conversation. We want our clients to feel like they can have a sense of peace k knowing that they are in professional and experienced hands. We stand out from the crowd because we care about our brand and reputation. We know that when we put the "Park North" logo on something that it's going to be to the highest quality possible.
