Ryan Cabrera (born July 18, 1982 in Dallas, Texas) is a half-Colombian American musician. He is managed by Joe Simpson, manager and father of pop singers Ashlee and Jessica Simpson.
Career
Elm St.
Cabrera graduated from Jesuit College Preparatory School in Dallas in 2000. He went on to attend The University of Texas at Dallas for a year. While in college, he was the lead singer for the popular Dallas band Rubix Groove performing in such venues as Trees and The Gypsy Tea Room. In 2001, Cabrera went into the studio to record his own independent album, Elm St..
Take It All Away
The response to the album was amazing and prompted Cabrera to leave his band for good. He released his first major-label album, Take It All Away, on August 17, 2004, and it debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 album chart. The album is co-produced by Goo Goo Dolls lead singer Johnny Rzeznik.
In early 2004, Cabrera had become known for his up-tempo pop-rock single "On the Way Down", which peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number seven on the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream. "On the Way Down" was followed by Cabrera's second single, "True", and his third single, "40 Kinds of Sadness".
You Stand Watching
Cabrera's sophomore album, You Stand Watching, was released on September 20, 2005, and it included his new single, Shine On.
Relationship with Ashlee Simpson
Cabrera was romantically involved with singer and actress Ashlee Simpson from early 2004 to early 2005, and he appeared in many episodes of Simpson's reality show, The Ashlee Simpson Show. Simpson also appeared as Cabrera's love interest in the music video for "On the Way Down".
Simpson's first single, "Pieces of Me", was written about Cabrera and their relationship. The two were reported to have broken up in August 2004 because of their busy schedules, but their relationship continued and was featured in season two of The Ashlee Simpson Show. They did a series of high school concerts together in October 2004, which was seen on the show.
