Country http://cdbaby.com A lifelong dream is coming true for up and coming country recording artist, Ryan Arnold. Ryan has dreamed of making it big on the country music scene from a very young age. It seems as though things have happened pretty fast, but Ryan has traveled a long, hard road to get to where he is now. Ryan was born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He may have grown up in a larger city but he is a country boy at heart. Ryan's mom, Veronica, says she can remember him humming songs before he could even talk. In school Ryan was one of the children who annoyed many of his teachers by drumming on his desk or anything else he could hit a beat on. Music has been a lifelong passion for him. Ryan is a true family man. He has one brother, Aaron, and three sisters Amanda, Natalie, and Victoria. All but one of his siblings has been blessed with some form of musical talent. Ryan is especially close to all of his family especially his sister Natalie. His family is very proud and supportive of his musical passion. That passion grew during his freshman year of high school. Ryan's signed up for chorus as one of his classes. Ryan decided to take the class because of his overwhelming love for music. He found joy in the class because of his love of music and also because of some of the new friendships he was beginning to develop with some of his classmates. Ryan's choir director, Don Nultemeier, found something in his reluctant student that surprised many. Ryan auditioned for the District Chorus as a requirement for the class. His choir director and classmates were astonished by what they heard. The reaction gave him a natural high that he has been chasing ever since. Ryan received a lot of encouragement, support, and training from Mr. Nultemeier. After high school Ryan sang at many musical events. Ryan was very fortunate to sing the national anthem at several locations in front of some very large crowds. Ryan also performed the National Anthem for the AHL Norfolk Admirals hockey team at Norfolk Scope. At the age of 20, Ryan left his Virginia Beach Home and headed to Tennessee. He moved to the Nashville area with a couple of friends of his from Virginia Beach. He took odd jobs while trying to establish his music career. In December of that same year, Ryan got a call that he was going to be a dad. At that time he dropped everything in Tennessee and headed home to Virginia. His son, Dylan, was born the following August. While back in Virginia, Ryan was doing various shows, working in clubs, and working as a DJ. While working Ryan worked for Eddie Sal. Eddie played a very instrumental part in furthering Ryan's musical abilities. Ryan continued in this line of work for several years. It was during this time that Ryan met his wife, Christina. The two were married in June of 2004. Just a few months after their wedding the two packed up and headed back to Tennessee. Ryan and Christina were blessed with their first daughter, Jordyn, the following year. Their second beautiful daughter, Dakota, came into the world two and a half years later. Ryan's family is the most important thing to him. His children and his wife come first. When the couple first moved back to Tennessee, Ryan worked odd jobs and performing four to five nights a week. Music has always been his greatest passion and he had to stay in the business some way. Ryan's wife was searching a local classified website one day and came across an ad of a local band looking for a harmony singer. So Ryan, with the encouragement of Christina, set up an audition with the band. They hired him that night. Ryan played with the Silver Eagle Band for six years. Randy and Bobby Loftis, and Gene Spivey took Ryan under their wings and taught him so much about music, including how to play acoustic guitar. So Ryan picked up a Takamine guitar. He has been playing it ever since. In the Spring of 2010 Ryan hired on with a second band. Soon after they named themselves "Ryan Arnol...
