RyanDan isn't simply a play on the names of identical twins Ryan and Dan. It reflects an indivisible bond that runs so deeply that there is no discernible line where vocally one ends and the other begins. To hear them and to connect to them is to be taken on an emotional journey of rare intensity. Their tight-knit harmonies and four-octave range - not to mention, stellar good looks - have guided the 28 year old twins to success all over the world.

Growing up in Toronto, the youngest of five children, Ryan and Dan Kowarsky's love of opera was spawned by the music of their childhood – the songs of the legendary Mario Lanza and the late great Luciano Pavarotti. As teenagers they came to admire the pop harmonies of the Bee Gees, the melodies of Stevie Wonder and the smooth R&B vocals of Boyz II Men. "It's extremely important to us that our music reflects the depth and strength of our emotions. We pour our hearts and our souls into our singing, and we want people to feel that passion."

One Night Live!

Hi Everyone,

What a fantastic couple of gigs we've had over the past few days!

First of all, playing at One Night Live was a truly amazing experience. Performing in front of 20,000 people really made it a very special night. We performed High, The Prayer, The Face and Like The Sun. Thanks to all our fans that turned up. Your support was deafening to say the least! What a brilliant reception we got from you all. An amazing evening was topped, when Bryan Adams asked us to come back onstage with him to perform a duet of his beautiful song "Heaven". Dan and I, of course, said yes! There are some pictures up from our backstage rehearsal in Bryan's dressing room. What a great way to end a great night!

Then onto our headline show at St Catharine's - It was totally sold out and the response from the crowd was simply brilliant. We received two standing ovations and it really is the greatest feeling you can experience from such a supportive audience. Thanks to all that attended, especially the 400 people who waited for hours afterwards in line to say hello at the after signing.

You can see photos from One Night live in the photo section on myspace or www.ryandan.com.

See you all soon,
Ryan x

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone....

Ryan and I had a great Christmas and New Year seeing our friends and family. We spent a lot of the holidays writing new material.

Our first trip of 2008 was to New York for our industry launch of the album, coming out on Decca records on 8th April for all our American fans. At the launch, we performed: Like The Sun, Tears of an Angel, The Face and The Prayer.

We were only in the city for a day, so we didn't have too much time to look around. It was freezing cold but the launch was a huge success!

We are looking forward to touring soon and playing at 'One Night Live' in Toronto and our first headline show at Brock University in St Catherine's, Canada.

We hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year, and look forward to seeing you all very soon! Keep checking our official site for all the latest news.

Italia!

Hello everyone!

First of all, big thanks to everyone who bought the High/O Holy Night single and to those of you who have e-mailed us Happy Birthday messages - we really appreciate it.
Last week after filming Sky Poker we flew to Germany to film the Carmen Nobel Show - She was really welcoming and nice to us when we were on set and we really enjoyed filming the show.
A plane was then waiting to take us to Verona,Italy for more promo and we sang for the Pope which was fantastic, we performed Like The Sun with a 75-piece orchestra.
In Rome we visited some great restaurants and ate the best food on this planet!

Our album is released in Germany this Friday, which can be purchased on www.amazon.de - We will be promoting it a lot more in Germany in 2008 so we look forward to seeing you all then!

See you all soon,

Ryan xx
