Ryan Berg’s father was a drummer and introduced him to music when Ryan was very young. Through singing in church and performing in theater and choir in school, Ryan felt music was his calling. He was raised in a conservative household and his tight-knit family was rocked when his mother came out as a lesbian when he was 18 years old. Both of his parents have since remarried to the women they were meant to be with, and Ryan now feels lucky to have not just one mom but three. For the past five years, Ryan has been a full-time musician playing gigs both with his band and as a solo artist.
