His dad, Bob Droze, a country singer himself, encouraged Billy early on and it didn't take the kid long to know that singing was what he wanted to do more than anything.As a teenager he would perform anywhere, at anytime for anyone who would listen. If he couldn't get somebody to take him to a gig, Billy would walk for miles, carrying his guitar down the country roads of Alabama to play.Some of his happiest moments as a child were singing gospel with his Dad. One of the first song's he can remember singing was "Old Rugged Cross". From there he gained a deep interest in music, developing a style that is none other than his own - pure, soulful and true. He says his early passion for those good ole' gospel songs, plus his love of bluegrass and traditional music are what have brought him to where he is today.After several trips back and forth, Billy finally made the move to Nashville where he has been "paying his dues" as a performer.It looks as though those dues are paying off. Billy has worked with RCA records Nashville. Also has been featured in several magazines and his music has been heard on radio all over the world. He currently writes for B-rad Music Publishing and he recently went in the studio with power-house producer,Mark Bright to record a few sides to shop for a record deal. In addition to all that Billy has acquired cut's on such artist like ''DARRYL WORLEY, BILLY YATES, MARTY RAYBON (from the group Shenandoah) and many more to come. He also tours extensively with country music super group SHENANDOAH. "I am genuinely blessed and I thank God everyday for all the good people he has put in my life", says Billy. "I know I am nothing without the talent God gave me".Talent truly is the key word. You won't believe your ears when you hear Billy Ryan sing. You'll have to agree that you've never heard anything like it before.Billy Ryan is one talent worth watching.
