I honestly never thought that I’d live a life like my own. I had a dream, and I never thought that it would honestly turn into a reality. I never ever thought in a million years that I’d be standing in front of a crowd of 2,000 people being cheered on. I never thought I’d perform in front of these people, but then one day everything had changed.
Ryan has been advertising his stuff a little more lately, and Ryan’s breached a new fan-base of 2,700 new Twitter followers after a popular blog posted some of the YouTube videos of him singing. Ryan’s Twitter has literally exploded in the last 72 hours with a total of 5,022 followers reached and it’s still going up.
Ryan’s set to have a new video coming soon but won’t tell the public exactly what it is. He has stated that
“it’s not my video for The One That Got Away, but I’m not saying it’s not going to be music related.” and also says “The massive amount of followers seemed so surreal, like it was a glitch or something, but when I contacted Twitter, they said it wasn’t. I’m hoping I can reach 30,000 soon. I know it seems like a long shot, but I really need to bring in some more fans so I can be verified. I’ve been verified once but they took it away, and it looks like I just have a lack of followers that’s keeping me back. I’m so proud of where I am right now. I can’t believe the new followers, just how many there are but I guess it’s a good thing.”
Ryan just announced on Twitter that he was going to be working with Studio Live sometime soon, possibly this week.
Okay, I have to announce it. Something good, in a wave of bad. I’m going to be on Studio Live soon.

Ryan plans on heading with studio live, to work on a few live covers, to put on the album for a few extra little surprizes. Ryan isn’t saying much at the moment, so all the #Ryanites will just have to wait for now.
2012 is already proving to be Ryan’s year. Today, the second of January, Ryan sold out his first physical product. Ryan released a wristband, to raise money for Beyond Blue. Ryan’s “Stay Strong” wristband was launched in the merchandise page. Ryan sold out 100+ wristbands in just 7 hours of the product being on the website. Ryan’s total fundraising for this charity, is over $800 Australian Dollars. Ryan hopes to make over $2,500 Australian dollars, when his Skyscraper remix single is released on iTunes. Ryan’s wristband is in production next week, once again. Selling the wristbands is definitely not a hard thing for Ryan to do. Over 200 requests to be notified about when they do come in stock have been made.
Ryan left YouTube last night, after watching some videos with the same 20 subscribers that he’s had for the last 3 months. Ryan then logged on in the morning to find that he had gained 80. He was now at about 104 subscribers. His video trailer had sparked to 94 views, from 50 and he had some extra likes and comments. Ryan then logged on at about 9:00pm to find he had gained 20 more, making his subscriber count around 126. Ryan checked his email address half an hour later, to see that he had 170 subscribers. An hour has passed since then, and Ryan’s at 172 subscribers. That’s nearly 200 since yesterday!
“I hadn’t the slightest idea about why, but then I remembered, yesterday a lot of significant things happened. I got messaged by Demi Lovato, who has a huge fan-base and one of my latest projects was approved. I don’t know if any of that has anything to do with it, but whatever it was, I’m not going to question it!” Ryan said in astonishment.
Ryan is hard at work planning for his new charity project, and working on artist collaboration with an un-named artist. Ryan claims that “This artist is keen on the project but hasn’t got permission to collaborate with me from his/her manager.”
Ryan is planning a new project to raise money for Beyond Blue, as he is very passionate about the organization. Ryan’s asked permission from Demi Lovato’s people to do this new scheme. Ryan’s collaborating with another artist, in hopes to do a remake of Skyscraper, to sell online; making money for the organization. More details can be found on Ryan’s personal blog, by clicking here.
Ryan just finished off his last show on his Christmas tour in NSW, Australia. Ryan raised $1,250 Australian dollars for kids without Christmas. Ryan performed 3 shows in Albury, New South Wales.
“Being on tour for the first time was interesting. I wasn’t really on tour, but I still went to different venues and sung songs for people. The best thing about it, is that I made money to give to a very deserving charity. It meant I had to delay some more recording for my album, but really, nothing matters. It was nearly Christmas time, and those kids needed presents. I delivered the gift of Christmas to those kids.” – Ryan Walpole said on December 25, 2011.
Ryan’s next tour will not be until after his “Horizons” album debut in 2012.
