AP#7- Ryan Malcolm

Oh Canada– Fire up the wiki it’s Canadian Idol’s Ryan Malcolm Bio.

Ryan Michael Malcolm (born October 13, 1979 in Kingston, Ontario) is a Canadian singer best known as winner of the first Canadian Idol. Ryan grew up in a small town just west of Kingston called Amherstview. The son of John and Sharron, Ryan had two older siblings, Kim and Sean. At the age of 9, Ryan’s parents split and John re-married. Throughout the 90’s, Ryan’s father owned and operated many restaurants, which in turn is where Ryan started singing.

In 2006, after spending 2 years writing songs, Ryan formed a new rock band, Low Level Flight. Teamed up with friends Shaun Noronha, James Rooke, Dave Carter and Brandon Merenick the band recorded their debut album with acclaimed producer Mike Borkosky (illScarlett). LLF released their first single, Change For Me, in February, 2007, and their debut record, Urgency, was released March 27, 2007, on I Heart Records (Ryan’s own label) with distribution by Fontana North.

WHY IS THE AWESOME MAN AWESOME?

Good Question. Well many of the Idols after World Idol became a part of screen plays or continue to create solo albums- Ryan didn’t. He started up his own rock band, and we know anything people of rock are truly awesome. 

Tommorow we go down under.
