This entry earned Ryan

"I'm in third," said Pugal.

A spot in the top 25.

"I found out the other day and started crying a lot because I've been struggling in the music business. I've been in this business for 10 years," said Pugal.

Ryan's original music has done well on the Indie Charts, but he hopes this contests his big break.


"I'm not the best singer. I don't know how I made it to the top 25 because I ain't no boom the best singer, but I give whatever I can.

I write my own songs. I'll bring whatever I can to the table," says Pugal.

The winner receives 10-thousand dollars, and a record deal. - KHON FOXChannel 2NEWS
