About Jon Ryan:
Jon grew up in Boston. In high school, he discovered the magic of keyboards and drum machines and took up bass as well. Jon majored in music at Skidmore College, where he got the a cappella bug in Bandersnatchers, in addition to playing in a band, piano accompanying, singing in chorus, and instrumental and vocal arranging. After graduating with music honors, Jon sang in various a cappella groups, including the Vineyard Sound, while teaching elementary music and piano lessons.
Jon says he always loved rhythm, even more than singing, but never really knew much about beatboxing until he saw Andrew Chaikin perform with the House Jacks. With Andrew's amazing performance as inspiration and wanting to perform full time himself, Jon started Ball in the House, a R&B, Soul, and Pop a cappella group which follows in the path of classic harmony groups like Boyz II Men, The Temptations, and Take 6, while incorporating the pop and neo-soul influence of artists like Bruno Mars, Daft Punk, and Pharrell Williams.
With their extensive tour schedule (averaging 200 dates a year), Ball in the House reaches millions and is arguably one of the hardest working, most successful indie bands today. Over the years, they have performed with several artists including The Beach Boys, Gladys Knight, Kool & the Gang, KC & The Sunshine Band, Jessica Simpson, and Smokey Robinson.
