In today's musical climate, record executives are increasingly looking toward television and internet channels to discover new talent. American Idol was responsible for launching the careers of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry, while X Factor (UK) brought us Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke and JLS. Through YouTube, Esmee Denters performed covers of Justin Timberlake's music; eventually allowing her to become the first artist signed to his label, Tenman Records (in association with Interscope Records). The site also helped Justin Bieber ultimately land a signing deal with Usher.
Philippine-born Ryan Sy is the next artist to keep an eye out for. He began songwriting as a hobby; working up the courage to perform at local cafes in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he attended school. Eventually, he moved to the US to focus on education. Despite having graduated from a reputable university, Ryan decided to pursue his musical aspirations instead; where he has found his true calling. Inspired by life experiences, his songs carry themes of love, loss, addiction, and the ever-enduring nature of the human spirit. His style is is just the right mix of folk and pop, soul and country. With the melancholy charm of a young James Blunt and the lyrical wit of a budding Jason Mraz, Ryan wears his personality on his sleeve and lets his emotions shine through every song he sings.
