NEW YORK, NY

--One of the most talked about new voices in Urban/Pop--

Ryan Michael (formerly known as Shamar Woods) recently blew up the internet stratosphere when his single "Wishful Thinking" off of his upcoming 2011 debut album 'The Perfect Stranger' was leaked onto the internet. While the commercially accessible, soulful songbird’s pre-solo debut hype continues to peak the interest of international fans and music execs alike, the humble 23 year-old is staying focused. “I’m gearing up to hit the scene running, working hard to make my mark. 2012 is going to be my year and beyond!”, comments Ryan.

Citing influences such as Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Tony Rich, Smokey Robinson, Babyface and High Five’s late Tony Thompson, the edgy music sensation began singing at the tender age of 6. After several years of growing as an artist and perfecting his songwriting and vocal skills, the Florida native has had the chance to work with industry heavy weights such as Jay Fenix, Mr.Cheeks, TLC, Blaque, Xscape, Freeway, Corey Gunz, Denzil Foster, Dirty Money, Britney Spears, Darkchild's MusicManiak's, Espionage, Stargate, and Will Baker just to name a few. Ryan Michael also wrote and co-produced the majority of 'The Perfect Stranger' himself, as well as served as executive producer on the project with guidance from his late mentor Steven E. Kurtz and Industry exec Benjamin Davis.

A wonderful introduction to a multi-dimensional artist who has been waiting in the shadows, Ryan Michael has shaped his debut album with a series of beautiful love songs and club anthems which resonate with a pop freshness. From the player swagger of the surefire club hit "Even If It Takes Me Forever”, the synth seduction of "Free Fall'" and the sexy, commercially enticing pop tune that is "Wishful Thinking", Ryan Michael has only just begun to win the hearts of pop audiences’ world-wide.

Reminiscent of industry luminaries such as Ne-Yo, Usher and Chris Brown, Ryan Michael’s 'The Perfect Stranger' was recorded and produced at various studios in New York City by a varied team of collaborators who’ve worked with the industry best. The "Wishful Thinking" single offers a powerful introduction to this new singer, with Ryan Michael’s soulful feel-good, radio-friendly vocals perfectly suited to take over every music lover’s favorite playlist.
