Ryan was born into a family of Colombian and American descent. Influenced by Latino culture and salsa music, Ryan began playing guitar “kind of by accident” as he said. One day, while still in middle school, out of boredom he picked up his friend’s old guitar and began experimenting. Soon he was able to play more complex chords, and so Ryan made his first steps towards a music career while being in high school, by founding a short-lived punk group, Caine. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas ‘til 2000, before enrolling at the University of Texas. While in college, he decided to approach to music in a more serious way, and formed an acoustic-based band – Rubix Groove. Soon after, under the Ryan’s leadership band began circulating through Dallas’ club scene gaining more and more popularity. These engagements opened the door for Ryan Cabrera’s solo career.
In 2001, Ryan Cabrera entered the studio with three songs he had written on his own, and the studio engineer was so impressed with Ryan’s overall performance that he offered to produce an entire album, for free, so later that year, Ryan Cabrera’s first, independently produced album – “Elm Street” was released. It featured 10 songs, not only written by Ryan, but also entirely performed just by him – he played all the guitars, drums and keyboards, even the beat-box. This venture helped Ryan Cabrera to establish himself in the demanding world of music. The album’s quick selling rate provided the basis for Ryan’s net worth.
The official beginning of Ryan Cabrera’s solo career occurred in 2004 when he released his debut studio album, “Take It All Away”, which featured the “On the Way Down” hit single which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. The album sold over 66,000 copies in the first week and was soon rated Double Platinum. This initial success massively boosted the Ryan Cabrera’s career, and just a year later in 2005, he released his second studio album – “You Stand Watching”. The latter album spawned another two hit singles – “Shine On” and “Photo”, and it is certain that all these accomplishments increased Ryan Cabrera’s overall net worth by a large margin.
In his solo career so far, Ryan Cabrera has released two more studio albums – “You Stand Watching” (2005) and “The Moon Under Water” (2008), and one EP – “Wake Up Beautiful” (2015) including a dozen hit singles of which the most famous, apart from those already mentioned, are “I Will Remember You” and “House on Fire”. In late 2015, Ryan Cabrera launched a musical conglomerate named Beyond The Sky, the first hit single of which was “Right On The Money” released in February 2016. Doubtlessly, all these achievements have helped Ryan Cabrera to massively increase his overall net worth as well as to build a respectable solo career in music.
When it comes to his personal life, it has been acknowledged that Ryan Cabrera has dated Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Simpson’s younger sibling. He was also in a relationship with Elvis Presley’s eldest grandchild – Riley Keough, as well as with Audrina Patridge, but remains officially single.

My career has been about a lot of things from the outside. The focus unfortunately shifted to what my hair was like or who I was dating. That's not why I started playing music. It's always been about the music. That's it. It's not about being a pop singer. It's about being an artist. I want people to think of the songs before they think of me. It starts now. This is going to be a fun ride.
