SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Ryan Upton -
I am a male singer from Basingstoke (Hampshire) UK with plenty of live experience with performances up and down the UK and including Europe. I have performed in some very unique venues including Auditorium Del Massimo, 02 Academy, LG Arena (Forum Stage), London Institute & more.
Having a steady and growing fanbase especially on social media platforms is a key thing for me & my music. Having over 30K followers on all platforms is an incredible achievement.
I recently participated in a few competitions one which was TourMusicFest a European Music contest performing to high profile people in the industry and OpenMicUK. I won my national final in the TMF competition which was held in London and I represented the UK in the singer category. I was flown out to Rome to perform in front of thousands and judges of the highest profile. I ended up finishing runner up out of thousands of singers who applied over Europe. OpenMicUK I made the Area final which is also a huge achievement.
Other shows which I have performed at over the years include performing on the forum stage before Jess Glynne & Robbie Williams at the LG arena warming up the crowds in the pre entertainment area. Performed alongside acts such as Union J, Jake Quickenden, Kimberly Wyatt & more up and down the UK.
I have had interviews which have included being on BBC Berkshire talking all things music and participating in Soccer Six which is a football event where artists and TV stars get together to see fans, play football and listen to live music. I was involved in that which was alongside Olly Murs, James Arthur, Dappy & more.
