A delightful young author who was able to hold Pre-K to 2nd graders attention for a full 40 minutes. The children readily identified with Ryan due to his friendliness, cool attitude, fun songs and excellent message from his book “Spaghetti Eddie.” The children certainly came away from the program understanding that they too would one day be able to write a book. The teachers, PTO and staff were just thrilled with his performance. We definitely want to be notified when the second book comes out! - Debbie Bodnar
Ryan had definite kid appeal with his stories, songs and raps. His presentation has a little something for everyone in his audience. One of our struggling readers was so taken with Ryan and his story that he invited him to his birthday and Ryan went. They served spaghetti, of course! We can’t wait for his next book! - Pat Smith

Bio
I've been writing and recording songs since I was 16, I'm 28 now. When I was 24, Boyds Mills Press published my children's book "Spaghetti Eddie." Since then I have done author visits throughout New England, reading my book and performing my children's songs. It's been amazing. Kids are the best audience!
My music differs from other children's music because it draws influence from other performers not associated with kids music. I have been very inspired by the creativity and energy of groups such as Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys and Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, to name a few. I'm a pretty laid back guy, but when I perform, this amazing energy comes out of me and it's been very well received. Children and parents really enjoy what I do.
I combine elements of rock and old school rap into children's songs that are very playful, possitive, and fun. My songs are very catchy, colorful, and guaranteed to make any child or adult smile.
Basically I want to be a rock star for kids. I know I have the creativity and personality to make that a reality.
