THIS is why I do it...


"When you see Ryan perform live, and see the reaction of the crowd, you realize the lyrics to Breathe connect with listeners in a way we haven't seen in a while. People are looking for a positive message right now, and Breathe delivers." -Dylan Sprague - PD - KALC (Alice 105.9) - Denver

People often ask me what the big deal is with Ryan Star. Is he a family member? Or a friend? Why do I talk or write so much about him and his music? The easy answers are...no...sorta...and because i like it. But the truth of the matter is...I look at him kinda like a big brother. He makes me (and countless others) FEEL like we are friends. His music is overflowing with emotion and honesty, one can't help but connect with it. Anyone who has had the pleasure of spending a fair amount of time with Ryan, knows that he is kind, and funny, and intelligent, and insanely dorky, and incredibly down to earth. He just happens to have been blessed with an enormous talent, and I can assure you, he doesn't waste his gift. Not for one second of one day.

THIS is why I do it. THIS is why I will vote in any poll, share any songs or videos, request his music on radio, talk about it to anyone who will really listen. Because it really is great to see the good guy win. :)

PLEASE, take a second to watch Ryan Star's video for his song Breathe
