Bianca Taylor Ryan (born September 1, 1994)〔〕 is an American singer, songwriter, musician and actress from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ryan was the first winner of NBC's ''America's Got Talent'' at the age of eleven. She auditioned for ''Talent'' in 2006 and amazed the judges with her big voice. Singing two Broadway show tunes along the way, Ryan was announced as the winner of season one on August 17. Her eponymous first album was released later in 2006, followed by two Christmas albums. Two singles followed in 2007 and 2010; also in 2010, she made an acting appearance in a music video by The Wrecking. The video for her first new release in four years, a cover of the John Legend song "All of Me", was posted to her YouTube channel in March 2014. Her original song "Alice" was self-released in May 2015. In 2012, Ryan joined the cast of the independent film ''We Are Kings'', portraying one of two down-on-their-luck teen musicians who are guided by an angel to save an elder bluesman from freezing to death. The film premiered in September 2014, and the video for her single "Broken Down House" was released in October. ==Early life== Bianca Ryan is the second of five children of Shawn and Janette Ryan, who moved from New Jersey to Philadelphia when Bianca was three years old. Her father, a fan of The Rolling Stones, named her after Mick Jagger's ex-wife. She has an older brother, Shawn, and three younger siblings, Isabella, Jagger and Evangelina.〔 Ryan is "mostly" Irish and calls herself a mix of Japanese, Irish, Italian, German and Cherokee. "I'm basically just America ... the melting pot."〔''Bianca Ryan by Decently Funny'', 11:52–12:01〕 Ryan's singing talent came as something of a surprise to her family, given that she was an award-winning tap dancer as a child. Ryan said she did not even attempt to sing until she was eight years old and started enjoying LeAnn Rimes and country music. Shawn Ryan started sharing his record collection with his daughter, and Bianca "fell in love" with rhythm and blues and soul music. She convinced him to take her to an audition for ''Star Search'', where her performance of "Think" impressed the judges and shocked her father. "I'd never heard her sing like that." During the Junior Singers competition, Bianca Ryan lost to Spensha Baker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Watch Star Search Season 4 Episode 1 S4E1 Star Search Show #33 )〕 Ryan later won Amateur Kids Night on ''Showtime at the Apollo''.〔 Ryan has sung the Star-Spangled Banner for several professional sports teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles, the New York Knicks and its Westchester affiliate,〔 and the New York Mets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bianca Ryan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
