Biography |
Ryan Frank Cabrera (born July 18, 1982) is a Colombian
American musician and a TV presenter. He hosts "Score!", a
reality dating television show on MTV. Cabrera plays Ricky
in the upcoming film My Sexiest Year.
Cabrera's first band was in high school, a punk band named
Caine. Dave Matthews gave him the inspiration to pick up an
acoustic guitar instead and that's when he formed the band
Rubix Groove. 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.. It is now a very rare CD because
it is not produced any more. Only a few hundred copies were
made.
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. 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.
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. |
