Ryan Kelly

The village that they call The Moy in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, may be where Ryan Kelly resides, but he's just as comfortable calling the studio and stage home. He began his love affair with music and performing early on in his life, and he's remained faithful to his first love ever since. Ryan developed his wide range of musical tastes from a lifetime filled with varied influences- from traditional Irish songs, to acoustic to rock to showtunes- and he combined them all into his own distinctive style, showcased on his smash debut album release, "In Time". Ryan started singing publically at age seven, taught himself to play the guitar around age thirteen and began writing his own music not long after. Ryan's talents don't end, however, with his phenomenal musical abilities. He is also an accomplished actor. He's taken on roles such as that of Mickey Johnstone in the musical "Blood Brothers" and Judas Iscariot in "Jesus Christ Superstar" to much success and praise. Ryan currently stars as part of the highly successful, platinum and multi-gold selling musical show, "Celtic Thunder". Performing with "Celtic Thunder" has allowed Ryan to showcase both his acting and singing abilities to audiences all across North America, Australia, and beyond. Ryan's performed live with West Life, Girls Aloud and Simply Red, sung the US National Anthem for his beloved Boston Celtics, and has performed for the US President and his family at the White House. He released his debut album, "In Time", in the Fall of 2010 to much acclaim. The success of the release was just the newest highlight for Ryan in a career that hasn't seen its top heights yet, and he looks forward to sharing his amazing musical journey with his incredibly supportive fanbase for many years to come.
