Identical twins with identical voices release outstanding debut album with all-embracing appeal.Move over Il Divo! Watch out Westlife! RyanDan, and their blend of contemporary classi-pop, are 2007’s success-story-in-waiting.Already platinum award winners in their native Canada, Ryan and Dan Kowarsky have recorded an inspired collection of emotional, soulful and uplifting music for this, their self-titled debut album. Ryan and Dan are good looking, have astonishing voices with a four-octave range that moves from baritone to soprano and full voice to falsetto with ease, can write heart-wrenching lyrics and captivating music, and are blessed with magnetic personalities.But despite lady-luck being extraordinarily generous with their talents, life has not been a bed of roses for the 27 year olds. Their mother was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and their young niece Tal, with whom they have an extremely close relationship, has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour.
The feeling and emotion with which they sing is clearly evident on the album song ‘Tears Of An Angel’ which they wrote in Tal’s honour.
It's extremely important to us that our music reflects the depth and strength of our emotions. We pour our hearts and our souls into our singing, and we want people to feel that passion.
Despite the uncertainties in life, Ryan and Dan find much to celebrate. The energetic and uplifting song High (penned by seventies folk legend Judie Tzuke), reflects their optimism and how they view life’s challenges.
Judie is also the composer of their first single, ‘Like The Sun’ on which the unique blend of their stunning voices is unmistakable. The single is accompanied by an epic video filmed in Rio De Janeiro and directed by Stuart Gosling (Backstreet Boys, Seal, Girls Aloud)
Whether performing a new interpretation of a classic pop song such as Wind Beneath My Wings, adding their own magic to The Prayer or Dentro Me, or delivering a heart-wrenching version of the West End song Bring Him Home, the twins have recorded a captivating and bewitching record that has been produced by Steve Anderson (Kylie Minogue, Paul McCartney, Take That)
Managed by Richard Beck (Shania Twain) and Marc Connor (Jamie Cullum), RyanDan will be in Britain throughout the summer for a series of performances, including Proms In The Park and supporting Katherine Jenkins at several outdoor concerts (Wisley, Dudley Castle, Tower of London, Lincoln Castle and Trentham Gardens).
They have also recorded their vocals for the official theme tune for the Rugby World Cup 2007 alongside Andrea Bocelli, Roberto Alagna, Katherine Jenkins and Hayley Westenra.
