Early Life

Although music was always a special part of Ryan’s life, he had other interests as a youth as well.  Growing up in South Florida allowed Ryan to participate in numerous sports and his athleticism enabled him to excel in many including travel ice hockey, basketball, competitive waterskiing, surfing and working out.  Ryan was able to successfully balance school, sports and music throughout his elementary, middle and high school years and as he entered college made a decision to focus primarily on music.  

Career

Montgomery was just out of high school when he decided to park his truck in the middle of thousands of country music fans and perform right off the back of his tailgate for the crowd tailgating outside the Coral Sky Amphitheater in his hometown of Lake Worth, Florida.  Little did he know at the time, that he would be performing on the main stage and in the lineup with Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, Chase Rice, Chris Lane and Kip Moore at one of South Florida’s largest country music festivals inside that very same amphitheater just 2 short years later.
