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.
