Some people are destined to be an architect, while others are perfect for info-tech. Acoustic Prince Ryan Christopher seems destined to be a songwriter and a singer.
Why? Wala siyang formal training sa music except for some piano lessons. He also plays guitar pero hindi naman siya nag-aral, oido lang.
“Nu’ng high school pa ako hindi ko akalain na magiging musikero pala ako. Nu’ng nandoon ako sa UK, ano ako, accountant. I got to meet so many people.
I met Justin Bieber, Drake, Toni Braxton. ‘Hi, puwede ba magpa-picture.’ Then I met some producers. I played for them tapos naging session player na rin ako sa recording studio.
When artists came, I play the keyboards,” chika ni Ryan sa amin.“Eventually, my producer got to LA. He said, ‘Bro, you want to go to LA? We will totally manage your career.’ I thought about it,” he told us.
He actually sought for some signs kung talagang dapat siyang magpunta ng LA. And the signs came.
“I saw an ad like moving to LA” while driving.
I was like , ‘wooh, this is a message.’ I saw a billboard, a show, ‘Californication’. And I thought, that’s another sign. Pagdating ko ng LA, I started doing music. I actually released two albums.
I wrote for TV shows, commercials. I did scoring for TV shows, small budget TV shows, bigger budget TV shows. Doon sa recording studio ko na realized na music talaga ang gusto ko,” litanya pa ni Ryan.
Actually, with his height and looks ay puwedeng mag-artista si Ryan but he’s not so fluent in Tagalog kaya may apprehensions pa siya.
Ryan Christopher’s self-titled album contains six original songs namely “Lovelight”, “So I Guess”, “Hey You”, “Mr. Sun”, “Little Lies” and “Dreams” all released by Ivory Music and Video.
