Ryan Cabrera is a singer-songwriter and musician who began his career as a lead singer with the Dallas band Rubix Groove. He went on to establish a solo career, and released his debut album, "Elm St.," in 2001. Cabrera's other albums have included "Take it All Away," "You Stand Watching," and "The Moon Under Water."
Early Life
Ryan Cabrera was born on July 18, 1982 in Dallas, Texas. For his schooling, he went to Jesuit College Preparatory School. Subsequently, he attended the University of Texas at Dallas. Cabrera had his first foray into the professional music world with the band Rubix Groove, which opened for such artists as Third Eye Blind and Cheap Trick.
Career Beginnings
For Rubix Groove, Cabrera composed three songs. A studio engineer was so impressed with his work that he let him record a full-length album for free at Deep Ellum Studios. This led to the release of Cabrera's debut album, "Elm St.," in 2001. Also that year, he signed to Atlantic Records.
Breakthrough as Recording Artist
Cabrera had his breakthrough as a recording artist in 2004 with the release of his major-label debut single, "On the Way Down." The song, which made it to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, appeared on Cabrera's 2004 album "Take it All Away"; the album itself debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200. Other singles from "Take it All Away" were "True" and "40 Kinds of Sadness."
Further Albums and Singles
Following his breakthrough, Cabrera released his next album, "You Stand Watching," in 2005. Debuting at number 24 on the Billboard 200, it spawned the singles "Shine On" and "Photo," the latter of which was inspired by Cabrera's relationship with Ashlee Simpson. In 2006, Cabrera released the single "I Will Remember You," which was later re-recorded for his 2008 album "The Moon Under Water." This album ultimately failed to repeat the successes of Cabrera's earlier work, debuting far down the Billboard 200 at number 177. Its singles included "Say" and "Enemies."
In 2012, Cabrera released new singles entitled "Home" and "I See Love." Two years later, he became the first artist to sign to Dynamite Music; he subsequently released his single "House on Fire." Next, in 2015, Cabrera released an EP called "Wake Up Beautiful."
