It wasn't until 2009 when Ryan was involved in a life-altering car accident that left him paralyzed, that his love for singing and songwriting was ignited. “Even though I may not be able to walk, writing music, recording, performing live and being able to connect with others, has allowed me to express my whole entire self without any limitations”. Ryan uses music as a means to inspire his fans while shining a light on the disability community.
