After conquering radio and the pop charts, Ryan Cabrera is now moving onward and upward in pursuit of
what has always mattered most to him - making the music that's in his soul, and now with a greater musical
and lyrical maturity as well as the confidence that comes with his success in music. And he is doing so by
breaking with the major label system and taking the reins of his career to independently produce and market
his third album which is due in-stores April 2008.
"It feels right," says the 25-year-old native Texan of the music he's been creating with the transplanted
Australian production team of Daniel James and Leah Haywood. "I really wanted to take my time and not
have a huge company telling me what I should be making."
Cabrera may well be the youngest best-selling musical artist to assert his business and artistic
independence and take advantage of the emerging new modalities for marketing and selling music by
releasing his next album on his own label. And in doing so, he comes back around to his original goals from
when, at age 14, inspired by Dave Matthews, he took up the acoustic guitar and soon started writing songs.
Now, with his mastery of the music industry and the resources from the radio and chart as well as television
and film success of his songs, he melds his aim to create music of substance and soulfulness with his
innate knack for fashioning compelling pop hooks.
"The sound of the new record I think will open a lot of eyes and ears, and definitely be a surprise to fans and
anybody who hasn't heard my music," Cabrera explains. "I wanted to take my time with this record and really
make a diverse entire album, as opposed to just a single or two; no I want a ride, a journey, I want the record
to be able to be played all the way through. So many things have changed in my life, and the music is
heading along with it."
Even as Cabrera's music grows more expansive and eclectic, his artistic signature remains distinctively his
own, but with a greater boldness, depth and breadth. "I'm 25 years old now and have been through a lot
more stuff. My music continues to evolve," explains Cabrera. "I'm writing all the songs so they're still going to
have my vibe to them, but I also listen to a lot of different stuff. I read different things now. I didn't want to
make the same record again and again just because the others did well.
"When the Beatles got deeper into their art, at the end of the day they still made great pop songs. I'm not in
any way comparing myself to them, but it shows you can make great, catchy music while still incorporating
your artistic viewpoint," concludes Cabrera. "You can still grow."
