Fun Facts:
~Something Ryan would like to change about himself: “I wish I didn’t have so much to say- it gets me into trouble sometimes because I always like to say my opinion.”
~A dream concert for Ryan would be Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, & a newly formed band of his would fit the bill perfectly!”
~He says:”I got my share of beatings in elementary school. My mom had to pull me out to teach me at home for a year. When I went back, I was more confident. I still got beat up, but I had my pride. It teaches you what some people are like. Now, even on a bad day, at least I know I am not getting beat up.”
~Ryan on entertaining: “I always wanted to entertain. When I was 6, a scrawny, scrawny kid, I’d get in my red Speedo and do muscle moves. I actually thought I was muscular. I didn’t know everyone was laughing at me.”
~When Ryan was young, he got paid $10 to sing “Puppy Love” & “When a man loves a woman” at weddings to the bride.
~Ryan’s #1 fan is none other than Justin (or at least that is what Justin says). He says: “Ryan’s my bud and I’m proud of him.”
~Ryan admitted to having a huge crush on this girl from his school that was already taken. He says: “Even thought she was dating some guy, I had a super crush on her. I used to do the announcements in school over the P.A. and I sang to her in front of the school and one day I asked her out, but she said no. I was heartbroken forever and I couldn’t show my face.” The worst part was that her boyfriend would beat him up a lot & after he asked her out, Ryan really got it from him.
~Ryan can speak 3 languages: English, French, & Spanish
~If Ryan could do a duet with anyone, he would want to do it with Brian McKnight
~His fave childhood memory: “Receiving MVP for my little league basketball team… and family camping excursions!”
