Background:
Tyson
Ritter is the lead singer doing vocals and bass for the All American
Rejects. He was born on April 24, 1984 and raised in
Stillwater, Oklahoma. This is where
he later met Nick Wheeler at a party and first started the
band. Unlike Nick, Tyson really enjoyed school and even
graduated a year early to try and pursue a career, but a year later
ended up with everyone else. Tyson says,"Stillwater was the
perfect place for us it practically screams unexcitement." When
he was younger his parents got divorced but his dad, his sister, and
him remained very close. He used to be a crazy, trouble maker,
and he
still enjoys being silly and having fun. In his free time
he likes hanging out with girls, working on cars, listening to rock and
roll, fishing, and water skiing. His favorite band he saw perform
live was Bad Religion. His first job was changing tires and he
disliked it greatly. Most people refer to him as Ty short for
Tyson, something odd about Ty is he will not drive with the radio
on. He claims it distracts him from coming up with his own
songs. However, AC/DC is one of his favorite bands. When he
was younger he constantly listened to them. Most of the songs
he writes are about his old girlfriend that broke up with
him. |
