Ryan Paris
Born into a family of artists, Ryan Paris already had the music in his veins when he was still a child. Especially inspired and encouraged by his grandfather, who taught him everything about classical operas, he decided to study music after having finished college. In the early 80s, he made his first movie experiences as well, when acting in little rolls in famous films such as Once Upon A Time In America by Sergio Leone with Robert de Niro and La Bella Otero with Angela Molina.
But feeling more attached to music he formed a band, which qualified for the Italian rock festival at the time, but which then spit up when some members had to join the army.
Finally in 1983, Ryan had his break-through, when working with his first producer, Pierluigi Giombini, and achieved worldwide success. His single Dolce vita sold more than 5 million records worldwide and went straight up to number 1 in all charts. For Dolce vita, Ryan received 12 gold, 2 silver and 2 platinum records. The BBC London produced a video clip of Dolce vita in Paris. This huge success made Ryan Paris a most sought after artist and he was invited to perform in all major European TV-Shows such as Top Of The Pops (UK), Champs Elysees (France), Popcorn (Italy) and Formel Eins (Germany).
Following the success of his first single, Ryan released Fall in love in 1984, which sold 180.000 units in France and Italy, reaching number 7 in Spain. Shortly after this, he released the album Ryan Paris featuring the single Paris on my mind which again, was a major hit in Italy and France. When touring the USA in 1986, Ryan Paris took part to the Pop Festival in Portland and played in a jam session together with legendary Al Jarreau and Stanley Clarke.
He worked with producers like Frank Peterson (co-producer of Enigma) and Christoph Seipel (No Mercy, La Bouche, Boney M) and even composed and co-produced songs for Coca-Cola commercials. Having been one of the major stars in the 80s, Ryan’s activities and ambitions are far from having come to an end. Besides working on remixes of his biggest hits and producing new songs for himself and other artists, he keeps performing in TV-Shows and on stage all over Europe.
