Ryan Star: First Exclusive Interview with RyanStarFans.com

By Tiffany M. (RyanStarFans.com)

“Boom.” Pause. “Boom.” Pause. “Boom.”

From outside the venue the bass drum pounded through the unusually warm spring air. Moments later, guitar wails followed, along with the standard microphone check. Walking up the steps to the venue, the energy of hundreds waiting in line for the concert was excited, chatty, albeit a bit subdued. Walking through the maze of cream, red, and teal backstage corridors, I made my way up three flights of stairs to a very well lit dressing room, appropriately decorated in a barrage of yellow stars. Taking a seat among the mirrors and lights, I looked around the cinderblock room. Backpacks and various personal belongings were strewn about the floor and on countertops, as a steady flow of people entered and exited the dressing room, including the bass player, and drummer, who I would officially meet later. Readying my questions and recorder, I waited for the arrival of the person for whom I had come.

Moments later, Ryan Star entered the dressing room. He greeted me with a smile, and was very gracious. He took a seat across from me after snagging a bag of potato chips from the aforementioned countertop, and the very first exclusive interview began. After a brief introduction and preface about my questions, I dove in, with a very attentive artist sitting and taking in every word. We began with small talk about current music and one of our mutual loves, Leonard Cohen.

Tiffany (RyanStarFans.com): Something the people on the website want to know is- what are your inspirations for this album?

Ryan Star: ‘11:59’ is about my kind of version of living in the moment, you know? It’s my, my number for that. I feel like it’s about what’s heavy, and what’s happening, so all of the songs are very urgent. “Wake Up,” “Brand New Day,” even “Last Train Home,” “This Could be the Year,” “Right Now,” these are all songs that are like, screaming. So, the message is breathe in every moment, and the question I ask is, ‘What’s your 11:59?’ You know, for me, I know what it is, it’s being on stage and writing, for a football player it’s scoring a touchdown.

“We Might Fall” On One Life To Live

Ryan’s music really is EVERYWHERE. Just this weekend I heard “Right Now” on a commercial (but I’m not sure what show it was for because I was in the next room). This is a couple of weeks old, but still worth watching. One Life To Live did an entire montage to “We Might Fall”, and it’s a different version of the song that I haven’t heard before.
