Ryan Gosling’s Musical Journey: From Songwriting to Studio Sessions

Ryan Gosling may be best known for his swoon-worthy performances on the big screen, but did you know he’s also a ridiculously talented musician? That’s right, the Barbie and La La Land star has a deep-rooted passion for music, and his journey from songwriting to studio sessions is proof that his talent knows no bounds.

From Mickey Mouse Club to Musical Maverick

Before taking over Hollywood, Ryan was already flexing his musical muscles. Fans may remember his early days on The Mickey Mouse Club, where he shared the stage with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Justin Timberlake. But while his former co-stars catapulted into pop stardom, Gosling took a different route, focusing on acting while keeping his musical skills sharp behind the scenes.

Dead Man’s Bones: A Love Affair with Music

In 2009, Gosling shocked fans by dropping a full-fledged studio album with his band, Dead Man’s Bones. The self-titled album, in collaboration with his friend Zach Shields, was a hauntingly beautiful mix of indie rock, folk, and theatrical melodies. Featuring eerie vocals and a choir of children, the album was unlike anything else out at the time.

Their cult-favorite track, "My Body’s a Zombie for You," became a Halloween staple, and their spooky yet soulful vibe won over a dedicated following. Despite the album’s success, Gosling and Shields never released a follow-up—but Ryan’s love for music never faded.

Taking Over Hollywood and the Studio

While his music career took a backseat to acting, Gosling continued to showcase his passion on the big screen. Fans went wild over his performance in La La Land, where he played a jazz pianist. Not only did he perform his own piano sequences, but he also recorded dreamy tracks like "City of Stars," which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

And let’s not forget Barbie! Gosling surprised everyone with his now-iconic song "I’m Just Ken," which took over TikTok and became one of the movie’s standout moments. His ability to balance humor with heartfelt vocals proved, once again, that Ryan Gosling can truly do it all.

What's Next for Ryan’s Music Career?

So, will Ryan Gosling return to the studio for another album? While nothing has been officially announced, fans are dying for a new musical project. With the overwhelming success of I’m Just Ken and his proven track record in the industry, it wouldn’t be surprising if he blessed us with more original music soon.

Whether he’s writing music, recording in the studio, or blowing us away on the big screen, Ryan Gosling continues to keep us guessing—and we absolutely love it!
