About: Ryan joined the crew in July of 08’, when a new player comes into a band, sometimes he has the tendency to disturb the chemistry of the band. Nothing could be further from the truth with Ryan. Ever since he has joined the band he has brought nothing but pure talent and 100% non-stop fun to the chemistry of the band. Coming from a father who has been behind some of the most successful artists known, (Brittany Spears to name one) It is no surprise that Ryan has one of the best ears for music in the band.
