Ryan’s Song” Debut Release on iTunes April 28 2011

For Immediate Release
Toronto, Ontario

On January 12, 2011, Toronto Police Officer, Sgt. Ryan Russell, tragically lost his life in the line of duty. This terrible tragedy inspired a song by family friend, Kimberley Dunn, who performed the song at Sgt. Russell’s funeral in fitting tribute to an officer who gave the ultimate sacrifice. As a city mourned the loss of one of its own; “Ryan’s Song” touched an entire nation.

The demand for a downloadable version of “Ryan’s Song” was so great that within days of the funeral, arrangements were being made for a professional recording session. Mark Nakamura of Paradigm Music answered the call to help record “Ryan’s Song” and Juno award winning sound engineer, Norm Barker, at “Studio 92” graciously offered his services. Photographer Ben Winston provided all of the photography and Kinetic Sight & Sound assisted in creating and hosting the “Ryan’s Song” memorial website in honour of our fallen hero.

All the participants contributed their time free of charge and all funds raised from the sale of “Ryan’s Song” are being donated to the Nolan Russell Trust Fund, to benefit Sgt. Ryan Russell’s two year-old son. Kimberley Dunn will be available for interviews in Toronto Apr. 28, 2011.
