Description
Anyone who has seen Ryan Daniel perform can tell you that he connects with the crowd. He makes every member of the audience feel like they are the most important person there. It has always been like that, whether he was performing before his fellow classmates in high school or for the thousands of fans during his tour with "Tops in Blue." Ryan served as a proud member of the United States Air Force for 9 ½ years. He has been deployed to the Middle East several times to serve in our fight for freedom.
While in the service, he was selected to join the elite musical touring group "Tops in Blue." As a featured vocalist, Ryan performed many solos throughout the show as well as intricate a cappella pieces with the male quartet. Additionally, Ryan performed the demanding choreography required. As a member of this prestigious musical production, presented by the Air Force, Ryan toured all over the world entertaining an estimated 250,000 troops and civilians alike. This opportunity led to him meeting his producer, and "Tops in Blue" music director, Barry Best. Ryan cites Garth Brooks as one of his major influences. "When I perform a song, I really get into it; I want the audience to feel what I'm feeling," says Ryan. "Reaching out to your audience with your voice and your emotions and just being plane buck wild - I think Garth does that better than anyone else!"
In August of 2005, Ryan left the military to pursue his dream of music. Like many artists who take odd jobs at restaurants while waiting for their big break, Ryan began working at a speed shop, has worked a karoke jockey, and performed in a local run of "Best Little Whore House in Texas."
The summer of 2007 proved to be most successful for Ryan. He began a mini-tour of BXs that are associated with military installations. He began in Florida at Patrick Air Force Base and through the contacts that were made was able to perform at Shades of Green, the military resort at Disney World. After the first performance at Shades of Green, he was asked to do an encore performance for the military families. Ryan did several more bases in Florida before wrapping up the tour in Georgia where he performed at Moody and Robins Air Force Bases. He also teamed up with Wal-Mart and Coca-Cola to perform at the grand openings of their stores and other venues. He performed throughout North Carolina as well as Tennessee. While in Tennessee, he had the opportunity to perform with his band at the World Famous "Tootsies" in Nashville for two nights. During 2008 Ryan and the band competed in a "Battle of the Bands" that Bodog Music puts on. There were 10,000 bands world-wide that entered the competition. Ryan and his band were the only country act in the competition and they made it to the finals.
From 2008- 2009 Ryan has worked to finish his full album Love Life and Memories. Upon full completion, the CDs were sent to Ryan and are now available for purchase through his website (ryandaniel.org). Whether you need a song to party to, want to remember that one true love, or want to feel the patriotism that our country embraces this CD has it all! Be the first to say that you have one of these awesome albums!
Ryan set up another tour through the Military Bases' AAFES locations beginning in July 2009. He began at Seymour Johnson AFB and traveled throughout several states in the Southeast and Central Regions of the US.
2010 has been a promising year for Ryan. He began the year by performing at two venues to support military spouses and children. The Officer's Wives Club held a silent auction where Ryan performed. The money raised at the auction went toward scholarships and spousal welfare. Ryan followed up this performance with one in April to celebrate "Month of the Military Child." The venue was open to children of Irwin Intermediate and their families. Ryan was proud to support his military roots by performing for more than 1,500 fans. This venue also allowed him to support PAGE, a non-profit organization beginning on the base to support gifted and talented students. The venue wrapped up with Ryan performing "Unknown Soldier" in memory of a fallen soldier who left behind a wife and son in March.
Currently, Ryan is working on a promotional tour with his manager Terry Gage. Be on the look out for when he will be near you!
