Identical twins Ryan and Dan Kowarsky developed a love of the operaticrepertory early on, adding a heritage to this release that is joined and balanced by the twins' own compositions. With Kylie Minogue's producer of choice Steve Anderson behind theglass, RyanDan's unique vocal talent remains 'pop' enough for young listeners and 'classical' enough for purists.★由波伽利钦点、共同合作主唱2007英式橄榄球世界杯主题曲新人组合之一★专辑首发立即空降英国专辑榜No.7★Crossover界乐迷最看好的圣诞节榜单冠军专辑看见RyanDan这对来自加拿大多伦多双胞胎兄弟的首张同名专辑封面，很容易让人以为这又是一张各大厂牌向来的必争之地──型男偶像团体。无庸置疑的，RyanDan的确是美男子，不过“比起我们的发型，我们更希望听众专注在我们的声音演出。”Ryan说道。RyanDan 从未上过正规的发音练习或课程，却早在幼童时期便播下了音乐的种子，跟随着演唱歌剧的父亲，四岁开始登台表演，经过了Mario Lanza、Luciano Pavarotti、Bee Gees、Stevie Wonder、Boyz II Men… 等各式音乐类型的洗礼灌溉及融合，RyanDan是命中注定走上音乐这条旅程。如同RyanDan能够毫不费劲儿的自中音滑向高音，游刃有余的穿梭在真假音之间，他们的首张同名专辑必定能够钻进你的心底深处，唤起尘封已久的温柔。生命中总是有许多难以预料的残忍焠炼，RyanDan的母亲及外甥女罹患了重病，乐观的RyanDan却以精神饱满的正面态度带进专辑的曲目当中，希望能鼓舞在恶境当中的人们振奋起精神，"High"、"Tears of an Angel"都反映了这对双胞胎兄弟是如何看待生命里的挑战；而为了满足歌迷们挑剔的耳朵，RyanDan在这张专辑里面也挑选了几首脍炙人口，乐迷们耳熟能详的单曲、好比说Jackson 5原唱、玛丽亚凯莉也曾翻唱过的冠军之作"I'll Be There"、以及Betty Midler的冠军单曲"Wind Beneath My Wings"；以他们天籁般的嗓音来重新诠释，希望可以让乐迷们在熟悉的旋律当中，更进一步的认识他们的唱腔。“对我们来说，我们的音乐投射出我们情感的深度厚度以及强度浓稠度，这点有着极度的重要性。我们在歌声中灌注了心和灵魂，希望大家也都能感受到我们那股源源不绝的热情。”而这样的热诚在专辑发行之后也理所当然的反映在销售成绩之上；同名专辑发行之后随即空降英国专辑榜No.7，更是有众多的Crossover界乐迷看好这张专辑会拿下本年度圣诞节榜单的冠军位置。RyanDan的好声音，不仅仅受到乐迷的赞赏，就连美声Crossover乐界的老大哥波伽利也注意到他们的精湛美声，在为了2007年英式橄榄球世界杯而唱的主题曲当中，波伽利甚至钦点这对双胞胎为共同合作的新人组合之一，让RyanDan对于自己的歌唱事业如同吃下了定心丸一般。就好像RyanDan自己说的，“聆听完整张专辑，你会拥有像是享用了丰盛一餐的满足感。”从开胃菜开始，沿着 RyanDan的美妙旋律，开始这一顿心灵乐章吧！把自己回归到最初婴儿般的原始纯净，安心的把自己托付给温暖真诚的RyanDan人声共鸣，你会找到久违的那道圣洁无秽的光芒。by Evan C. GutierrezRyan and Dan Kowarsky, born in 1979, are the two halves that make up pop-classical vocal power duo RyanDan. Brought up in an affluent suburb of Toronto, the Kowarsky brothers spent their early years watching their opera-singing father from the wings of local theaters. By the age of four both brothers had followed his lead and began performing in musicals and plays. The brothers' identical appearance allowed them to split roles, like the lead in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which they shared while still in high school. Weened on Pavarotti and falling in love with Stevie Wonder in their teen years, the Kowarsky brothers set their sites on the vocal pop world early. Accompanied by a friend, Ryan and Dan waltzed into Sony Music Canada's office in Toronto and sang in the lobby at the age of 18. They left with a record deal, which would go on to earn them their first platinum record. As members of the boy band B4-4, the Kowarskys were introduced to the public and inner workings of the music industry, but disillusioned with the banal, uninteresting music they had to perform. As they matured the brothers chose to strike out on their own as a pop-classical duo, writing and selecting their own repertoire. For their debut release, RyanDan, the Kowarskys collaborated with veterans like folk artist Judie Tzuke and producer Steve Anderson. Singles such as "Like the Sun" and "The Face" won a place on Canadian pop charts, an unlikely destination for music with such a classical slant. The record placed on Canada's Top 100 in the year of its release, 2007.
