Based in Oxford UK, Ryan lived with his grandparents from an early age where old time country music was always being played in the house. Every Sunday young Ryan would be taken to the High Chaparral Country night in Oxford and his passion for country music grew stronger and stronger. Ryan's mum took him to Nashville and Memphis for his 16th birthday and when he visited Gracelands, the passion turned into an addiction. As he walked through the door, he said to his mum "Jeez! What a place! If I have to marry Lisa Marie or buy it out of my future royalties - one day I'll own this place but that Jungle Room has to go!" Ryan is now writing songs and in the process of recording his first album.
