Biography
Early life
George Ryan Ross was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. He attended Bishop Gorman High School. He studied at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas but dropped out after a semester to focus on music.[1] Ross has said that his father, who died on July 28, 2006,[2] disliked his life decisions, and that they were not close.
Early musical beginnings
When Ryan was twelve, he asked his parents for a guitar for Christmas, thus starting his first collaborations with Spencer who was given a drum set. In the first few years, Ryan and Spencer mostly covered blink-182 songs with Ryan on vocals. Their band was called Pet Salamander at that time.[3]
