Ryan Cabrera

From a young age it was Cabrera’s exposure to the Dave Matthews Band which really inspired him to pick up the acoustic guitar and begin his pursuit as a musician. Initially playing in rock band Rubix Groove who supported Cheap Trick and Third Eye Blind, Cabrera embarked on his solo adventure self-releasing his debut album “Elm St” in 2001. Although not a commercial success, the release caught the attention of Atlantic Records and signed with them in 2001.

After years of collating material for his major label debut, Cabrera released the single “On the Way Down” in 2004 peaking at number 15 in the US charts and certifying gold. Later that year he released the album “Take It All Away” produced by Goo Goo Doll John Rzeznik charting at number eight. The album churned out two more hit singles “True” and “40 Kinds of Sadness”.

In 2005 Cabrera released his second album “You Stand Watching” debuting at number 24 in the Billboard charts. The track “Photo” was inspired by Cabrera’s relationship with pop star Ashlee Simpson largely documented in her MTV reality show “Autobiography”. Three years later he released his third album “The Moon Under Water” featuring the singles “I Will Remember You” (which became a fixture on the third season of reality television show So You Think You Can Dance as the exit song) and “Say”.

In 2013 Cabrera launched the bi-monthly web series on Stage It “Live from Ryan’s Living Room” where he invites celebrity guests to perform with him while raising money for charity with past guests including Gavin DeGraw, We The King’s and Billy Ray Cyrus. The following year saw Ryan become the first artist to sign to Dynamite Music and release the single “House on Fire” from his forthcoming EP “Wake Up Beautiful”.
