RYAN RIZZO
VOCALS
Ryan Rizzo (Cameroon)
Ryan’s love for music began longer than he can remember.
One thing that comes to mind is how as a young boy,
he would often sit in his mother’s car and listen to music all day on the radio. He was largely influenced by Lucky Dube (reggae musician). Ryan started singing at his church and later joined his school choir as a tenor vocalist. He also plays drums and acoustic guitar.
「Music is a place I run to where nothing else matters. I hope to positively influence people through my music someday.」
