O'Ryan

 
  • Genres: Rhythm & Blues

Biography

O'Ryan entered the crowded teen pop arena in late 2004 with his self-titled debut album, released by Tug Entertainment, a subsidiary of Universal. Although 2004 was surely the year of Usher and he lacked the star power of that teen pop front-runner, O'Ryan nonetheless fit in well alongside fellow members of the pack, among them Mario, Ciara, Cassidy, Ashanti, and Marques Houston. O'Ryan's debut single, Take It Slow, didn't take off as well as hoped, nor the album showcasing it, though this wasn't for lack of potential. In fact, O'Ryan was one of the more promising teen pop crooners of the year and his album one of the better. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

Background

However, after being cast as Michael Jackson in a play in Los Angeles, O'Ryan found himself following his brother and moving into the spotlight.

O'Ryan is signed to The Ultimate Group (the recording label for former group B2K) and is also on the roster for Motown Records.

He let on a song called Take It Slow, which was co-written by Andre "mrDEYO" Deyo the writer of Jenny From The Block and featured Jessica Benson of 3LW in the lead role in the music video. It peaked at #110 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs in September 2004.
