Bianca Taylor Ryan (born September 1, 1994) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ryan was the first winner of NBC's America's Got Talent at the age of eleven.[1] She auditioned for Talent in 2006 and "blew [the judges] away" with her big voice.[2] Singing two Broadway show tunes along the way, Ryan was announced as the winner of season one on August 17. Her eponymous first album was released later in 2006, followed by two Christmas albums. Two singles followed in 2007 and 2010; within the next several months, she made guest appearances in music videos by The Wrecking and Lifehouse. The video for her first new single in four years, a cover of the John Legend song "All of Me", was posted to her YouTube channel in March 2014.
In 2012, Ryan joined the cast of the independent film We Are Kings. She portrays one of "two down and out teen musicians who are guided by an angel to an ancient bluesman [half-frozen] in a blizzard."[3] Kings premiered in September 2014.
Early life[edit]
Bianca Ryan is the second of five children of Shawn and Janette Ryan. Her father, a "huge" fan of the Rolling Stones, named her after Mick Jagger's ex-wife. (In 2014, when an interviewer joked that "Bianca Ryan" sounded like a fake name, she admitted that she didn't like her name and had considered changing it.)[4] She has an older brother, Shawn, and three younger siblings, Isabella, Jagger and Evangelina. Ryan is "mostly Irish"[5] and calls herself "Japanese, Irish, Italian, German, Cherokee ... I'm basically just America ... the melting pot."[6]
Her singing talent came as something of a surprise, given that Ryan was an award-winning tap dancer as a child.[7] "I had never even experimented with singing" until she was eight years old and started enjoying LeAnn Rimes and country music. Her father started sharing his record collection and Ryan "fell in love with R&B and soul music."[8] She convinced her father to take her to an audition for Star Search where she made it into the competition and performed "Impossible Dream".[9] Though Ryan lost to Spensha Baker,[10] she impressed the judges and shocked Shawn Ryan, who had "never heard her sing like that."[11]
Ryan has since sung the Star-Spangled Banner for numerous semi-professional and major-league sports teams, including the Philadelphia Growl, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Knicks.[12] Her acting debut was a literal walk-off appearance in the 2005 film 12 and Holding; her character is shown at a school function singing the final line of "Oh! Susanna", thanking the audience, and leaving the stage.[note 1]

While searching the Internet for auditions early in 2006, Ryan discovered that American Idol judge Simon Cowell was serving as executive producer for an upcoming competition titled America's Got Talent. For her televised audition, she chose the Dreamgirls show tune "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" (originally performed by Jennifer Holliday), surprising the audience and the judges with her powerful voice.[13] By January 2014, an early upload of Ryan's audition had topped the ten-million-views mark at YouTube.[14]
For the semi-finals of the show Ryan performed "Piece of My Heart", made famous by Janis Joplin. Although the judges praised her performance they did not think the song was right for Ryan. She rebounded for her finals performance, singing "I Am Changing" (also from Dreamgirls) and prompting judge Piers Morgan to predict that she would win the competition.[15] Indeed, during the finale results aired on August 17, 2006, Ryan was announced by emcee Regis Philbin as the winner of Talent's first season.
Ryan made a brief appearance during the show's season two finale in 2007. In a video recorded during Live Nation's Nextfest tour, she wished "the best of luck" to the top two finalists.[16]
After Talent[edit]
Exactly one week after her victory, Ryan announced on her website that she had flown to New York to meet with representatives from a record label and some of the recording industry's top songwriters.[17] The Northeast Times reported that same day that Ryan met with Grammy Award-winning producer David Foster and was being managed by Peter Rudge.[18]
Ryan signed a five-album record deal with SYCOmusic as part of Columbia Records on September 18, 2006.[17] She was the first US artist to sign with SYCOmusic; during the press conference, Simon Cowell called Ryan "potentially one of the best singers I have ever heard in my life."[19] The following month, Ryan was in Los Angeles to record her first CD.
Ryan's eponymous debut album was released on November 14, 2006, featuring cover versions of "The Rose" and "I Believe I Can Fly" and original songs like "I Wish That" and "Pray for a Better Day". Eight days later, the album broke in at No. 57[20] on the Billboard album charts, showcasing "her gargantuan chops and sweet charm," wrote Matt Collar of Allmusic. Though he called the arrangements "somewhat over-the-top pop creations" and "grandiose given Ryan's age, her musical aspirations are more than matched by her truly impressive vocal talent".[21] Los Angeles Daily News reviewer Sandra Barrera said that Ryan handled the songs "like the old pro that her big, powerful voice makes you think she is".[22]
One month later, the EP Christmas Everyday! was released as a promotional giveaway. She then joined several artists in a televised 2006 Christmas performance for President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush at the National Building Museum to benefit the Children's National Medical Center.[23]
Her first concert tour took her across the United States as the special guest artist for Nextfest in 2007.[24] That August, she released the single "That's Not Me".[25]
In 2008, Ryan left SYCOmusic/Columbia Records; she released her second holiday-themed EP, True Meaning of Christmas, on November 3, 2009, on the indie Music Forever label.[26] This second collection, co-written with Anthony Marinelli and Siedah Garrett, includes updated versions of "The Christmas Song" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"; the title track features a duet with gospel pop singer Brent Jones.[27]
In 2010, Bianca Ryan wrote and recorded a song inspired by Twilight: New Moon called "In My Head."[28] The single was released digitally on August 21 through the indie label Tuned In Music and Media,[29] followed by a summer-long tour at the Atlantic City Trump Plaza.
Ryan was the featured guest during the fifth episode of an interview series by LiveMediaScene in October 2012; when asked about the differences between her debut album and her future projects, she noted that she didn't get to choose what songs went on her first CD. "[The experience] was amazing, but [despite working with people like David Foster and Kara DioGuardi] I didn't feel like it was really me. ... You can relate to songs that you write."[30]
She explained in 2014 that she had put her career on hold to go back to school even though, as it turned out, she "hated" high school because, besides "a couple of stalkers", she was mostly ignored by other students. "I made no friends" until after school was over.[31] Still, she wanted to "live a life, and have purpose and things to write about, because I'm so passionate about writing music now."[32] Ryan told fanlala.com in February that she's working with industry veterans like Quincy Jones on a new EP "with music that's completely written by me. ... It's more mainstream than anything I've written before."[33] She calls her style a blend of "neo soul, kind of R&B-pop sound".[34]
Bianca Ryan also resumed work on her YouTube channel in 2014,[33] where she posted a video of her cover of the John Legend song "All of Me" in March.[35]
Ryan returned to acting in 2010 and 2011, appearing in music videos for other artists.[36][37] In 2012, she joined the cast of We Are Kings, an independent, crowdsourced feature film in which two homeless musicians (played by Ryan and blues artist Jonathon Boogie Long) and a runaway rapper (Pryce Watkins) join forces with an elder bluesman, playing gigs in an effort to raise the money needed to send him back home to save his comatose wife and their repossessed blues club. Ryan and her co-stars wrote their own original songs for Kings.[38] Her first single from the film, "Broken Down House", was released in November 2014.[39]
Upon the film's release, LA Weekly called Ryan, Long and Pryce "so bursting with talent that it's impossible to pick a favorite"[40] while the Los Angeles Times looked past the "discordant emoting" to praise the "palpable, soulful authenticity to the musical performances".[41] Ryan admitted that she "could use an acting coach ... but, see, I'm honest."[42]

Friday, August 24 — More than 20 Burmese government soldiers were killed in two separate clashes with Kachin forces in areas about 15 miles south of Laiza. The attacks were confirmed by KIO officers in their Laiza headquarters. In the morning, at least 10 soldiers in Burma's Lighit Infantry Battalion (LIB) No. 438 were killed, and over 15 were injured from heavy mine explosions set off by Kachin Independence Army (KIA) troops at Tingnyit Village near the Munglai Hka Stream. That same day near the Munglai Hka Stream, KIA soldiers and KIA militia (MHH) at Lungja Kawng carried out a similar attack. According to KIA officers, more than 10 Burmese soldiers from Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) No. 601 were killed and a dozen injured. No KIA soldiers were killed in the two clashes, said KIA officers in Laiza.

AN OXFORD University graduate who set up a fundraising page asking people to help pay for her Master's degree at Wadham College has received £14,600 in pledges.
Emily-Rose Eastop, who graduated from Magdalen College in 2010 with a 2.1 in Human Sciences, needs to raise £26,000 for her MSc in cognitive and evolutionary anthropology.
Miss Eastop, 26, said: "I did apply for a grant but didn't get one. They said they had nine times as many applicants than they could fund.
"The money I've raised comes from people who gave willingly."
She is hoping to complete the additional qualification after failing to find a permanent job since graduating.
Miss Eastop lives with her family in South Woodford, London.
However, some people have criticised her, branding her a "posh, spoiled brat."
Commenting on the online abuse, she said: "I think people are annoyed that someone has engineered themselves an easier ride than they had."
Oxford University spokesman Matt Pickles said: "We hope more can be done at a national level to ensure postgraduate study is open to all."
