Born in the small coastal town of Angourie, Australia, Ry grew up with a surfboard under one arm and his Dad's record collection under the other. He quickly developed a love for many different styles of music from Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder to The Beatles and The Police. His voracious appetite for music grew while his wide and varied tastes began to mold the sound and style that is uniquely Ry Cuming. Armed with an acoustic guitar and undeniably soulful voice, Ry's professional music career began to take shape as an 18 year-old traveler and surfer in Costa Rica.

One fateful afternoon while playing in the hallway of a hotel for some female pro surfers (Ry is an avid surfer himself), Ry met a young film producer from LA who was taken by his talent and happened to have some very good connections. He became the catalyst for Ry's journey into the LA music scene, introducing him to a network of musicians that were starting to gain momentum in the area...Maroon 5, Phantom Planet, and Rooney. Ry was now in very good company and was quickly noticed by major label JIVE records, where he recently signed a new, exclusive recording contract. His debut album was out in the spring of 2010.

Ry has already won two of Australia's Dolphin Awards for Best Pop Song and Best New Artist, was recently featured on NBC's EXTRA and MTV's LAGUNA BEACH: The Real OC, has been seen in the pages of Vogue Magazine, AND been featured in two films including a Quiksilver production about the Mentawai Islands, and alongside Maroon 5 and Jimmy Buffett in the motion picture HOOT. Ry Cuming is about to make some BIG waves in the US and around the world!!!. ...show less
