About
Independent. Artist-first. Built from the inside.
Sleepless LYFE Records LLC is an independent label, artist support service, and distribution platform for artists who are serious about building a music career the right way — without giving up control.
The Journey
Ryan Galway didn't build this from the outside looking in. He started as an EMT and 9-1-1 dispatcher — jobs that taught him how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and make fast decisions that matter. At the same time, he was building a parallel career in music: DJ, merchandise manager, road manager, tour manager, and eventually artist manager for some genuinely notable acts.
Multiple Tours. Janet Gardner, formerly of VIXEN. The Amazing Kreskin. Slide/Ways. Berklee College of Music — Concert Touring and Promotion. 16 years of being in the room, on the bus, and behind the scenes.
Sleepless LYFE Records LLC was built on that foundation — not on theory, but on experience.
The Label
We operate as an independent record label distributed through Symphonic Distribution. Our artists release on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, and 200+ platforms worldwide under the Sleepless LYFE Records LLC name.
We offer no-advance distribution deals for artists who are ready to release professionally without giving up ownership of their work. You keep your masters. You keep your publishing. We handle the infrastructure.
Current roster includes Ryan & The Remedy
Artist Assist
Not every artist needs full management. Some need a few hours of help each week. Some need a booking campaign. Some need a website, an EPK, or someone to tell them honestly what their next move should be.
Artist Assist is our answer to that — affordable, hands-on music industry support starting at $25/hour. No long-term contracts, no retainers designed for artists who've already made it. Real support for artists who are still building.
The Vision
Sleepless LYFE Records LLC exists to close the gap between where independent artists are and where they're trying to go. The music industry has always rewarded access — access to the right people, the right knowledge, the right infrastructure. We're building a platform that makes that access available without the gatekeeping.
Music. Management. Distribution. Artist services. Merchandise. All under one roof.
The Community
Sleepless LYFE isn't just a label — it's a network. Our Affiliate Artist program puts emerging artists on our platform and in front of our audience. Our Artist Assist clients get connected to a community of people who are all working toward the same thing.
If you're an artist, a manager, a creator, or someone who just lives and breathes music — you're in the right place.
