Ryan Ross was born in Las Vegas, Nevada in the summer of 1986 to Cynthia Ross Foresta and the late George Ryan Ross II. His parents separated when he was young and growing up, he struggled with his father's alcohol dependency. Several of his earlier song works recount events surrounding his father's addiction. He was a member of the wildly successful cult band, Panic! at the Disco from their formation in 2004 until his departure from the band in June of 2009, where he cited creative differences. From that time until December of 2010, he was a member of the now defunct band, The Young Veins with former Panic! at the Disco band mate, Jon Walker. He has not been particularly active in the music scene since the band's breaking up. Ross currently resides in Echo Park, Los Angeles. He remains friends with his former band mates.
