Ryan Cabrera

Ryan Frank Cabrera (born July 18, 1982 in Dallas, Texas) is an American pop rock musician, who emerged onto the music scene in 2004.

Music career

Dave Matthews gave Cabrera the inspiration to pick up an acoustic guitar . After years of making a name for himself in Dallas, he decided to finally branch out on his own. In 2001, Cabrera went into the studio to record his own independent album, Elm St..

Take It All Away

Cabrera is managed by Joe Simpson, manager and father of pop singers Ashlee and Jessica Simpson. Simpson introduced Cabrera to record producer, songwriter Curt Frasca (Madonna, Avril Lavigne, Mariah Carey) late 2003 and along with songwriter Sabelle Breer the seeds for Ryan's first major-label album, Take It All Away were planted. Ryan got hooked up with John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls to co-produce the album.[1] Reportedly, writing a bulk of the album in a week. It debuted on August 17, 2004, at number eight on the Billboard 200 album chart.

In early 2004, Cabrera had become known for his up-tempo pop-rock single "On the Way Down", which peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number seven on the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream and has since sold over two million copies. "On the Way Down" was followed by Cabrera's second single, "True", and his third single, "40 Kinds of Sadness" was top 40 airplay within weeks of release.

You Stand Watching

Cabrera's second album, You Stand Watching, was released on September 20, 2005, and it included his singles "Shine On" and "Photo".

In Wal-Mart stores, the You Stand Watching album comes with a bonus disc. The bonus disc includes two new songs, "All Night Train" and "I Know What It Feels Like," as well as acoustic versions of "Exit To Exit", "Take It All Away" and "Shame On Me". If you bought this cd on the iTunes Store it came with the bonus track "Sentimental." This record peaked at #24 on the Billboard charts, and is a reported Gold Album.

In 2006, Cabrera released a single entitled "I Will Remember You" via iTunes. The song never had a video shot for it nor has it appeared on any of Cabrera's current albums. However, the song was featured for promotion in the series finale of the NBC series Will & Grace.

Untitled-Future Album due in 2008

Currently in the studio working on his 3rd album, Ryan Cabrera is hard at work, 7 months into the project, which he feels will be his best work to date. "The sound of the new record I think will open a lot of eyes and ears, and definitely be a suprise to fans and anybody who hasn't heard my music! I want to take my time with this record and really make a diverse entire album, as opposed to just a single or two, no I want a ride, a journey, I want the record to be able to be played all the way through. In fact, there are songs that none of my management or crew have heard. So many things have changed in my life, and the music is heading along with it." (cited from Cabrera's myspace 8/12/07)

Ryan appears on the 'Son of the Mask' Soundtrack with the song, "Inside Your Mind". Cabrera has a track on the 'Fantastic Four' Soundtrack: "Always Come Back to You".
