Ryan Cabrera
is a singer/songwriter.
He was born and raised in
Dallas, TX. His debut album
Take It All Away entered
the Billboard 200 Album
charts at #8. It's co-produced
by Ryan along with John
Rzeznik (of The Goo Goo
Dolls).
Ryan began writing and
playing guitar from a very
young age. He is no stranger
to performing, as he opened
and headlined at numerous
premiere venues in Dallas,
while still only in high
school. Ryan opened for
such bands as Sister Hazel,
Nine Days, Wheatus, Dexter
Freebish, and The Pat McGee
Band. This soon spawned
more extensive touring across
the US. In pursuit of his
musical career, Ryan left
college behind and moved
to LA a year ago.
Ryan landed a deal at EMI
Music Publishing and a recording
contract on E.V.L.A/Atlantic
Records shortly thereafter.
He began collaborating for
his album with high-profile
EMI writers such as Guy
Chambers (Robbie Williams),
Kara Dioguardi (Enrique
Iglesias, Celine Dion),
Jimmy Harry (Kelly Clarkson)
and John Rzeznik.
The 1st single off of Cabrera's
album "On The Way Down"
goes to Top 40 and Hot AC
radio on May 17th 2004.
The song's video features
actress and Geffen/Interscope
recording artist Ashlee
Simpson (who stars in the
WB network hit series 7th
Heaven). Ryan is managed
by Joe Simpson (Jessica
Simpson and Ashlee's father).
The grassroots word of
mouth buzz continues to
grow as the Aware Marketing
street team (who marketed
and broke John Mayer and
Jason Mraz) have been brought
on to work Ryan's project.
Most recently Ryan has been
slated as the opening act
for Jewel, who will be touring
from May-July.
You will also find Ryan
featured in the April issue
of Seventeen, Popstar Magazine's
May issue, and in Teen People,
Acoustic Guitar World, M
Magazine, Performing Songwriter
and BOP in June. Ryan will
be again featured in July's
issues of Seventeen and
YM magazine with more to
follow shortly.
