Callused

Johnny Ryan has been immersed in the music industry virtually all his life. It began at the age of 6 with his first drum set for Christmas and continues today with his current professional vocal career. Music runs in Johnny's family. In fact, his mother is still the lead singer of a rock 'n roll band that has played the local Denver, Colorado scene for over 3 decades! That's where Johnny first cut his teeth performing live. Whether he was ready or not, Mom and the fellas in the band would pull him up on stage to sit in. Priceless experience that he still calls upon an a daily basis. Currently, Johnny is beginning a new project with powerhouse guitarist Paul Tauterouff called AMERICAN MONGREL. Paul and Johnny will be in the studio very soon writing, producing and recording a full length album which they hope to have released by late 2011. Johnny is also involved daily with numerous artists around the world providing vocal session work and hit making lyrics for dozens of projects. He has experience with many different genres and styles ranging from Southern Rock, Blues, Progressive Rock and Metal just to name a few.
