When he was 8 years old an opportunity arose for Ryan to play the character Mark in RTE’s Fair City, a role in which he claimed for almost a decade. He matured as the younger brother of Damien Halpin and spent his teen years on the Irish screens. By 17 musicality became a priority for the North County Dublin native, and he left the hit tv soap to begin a career in music.
While studying at BIMM Dublin as a songwriter in 2012, Ryan penned his first collection of songs. Prior to the release of these songs, Ryan appeared on the finals of both The Voice of Ireland and Britains Got Talent in the same year. In his opening audition on Britains Got Talent, Ryan performed his self-penned song ‘No Name’ which has accumulated over 45 million hits on YouTube.
