Ryan Christopher: The Millennial Crooner

BY KELLI M. LARSON

Unlike his contemporaries, who’ve tossed aside icons and values of the past, singer Ryan Christopher celebrates them! Introduced by his parents and grandparents to beloved crooners like Chet Baker, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole, Ryan learned to both appreciate and emulate their smooth sound. Now, he’s melting hearts by performing the standards himself at Baci Italian Restaurant (July 17) and Timeless Treasures Boutiques (August 19-22) in Huntington Beach, Somerset Winery (July 18) in Temecula, and at corporate and private events throughout Southern California. “I love the complexity of the music and have a unique ability to sing and perform this genre,” he explains. However, Ryan’s voice also lends itself well to the beloved tunes of Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban. Given the opportunity, he’d like to “perform with a live band at venues across the county including: Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, Palm Springs, and of course, all over California.”
