We met with Ryland Lynch, DJ and brother of Austin & Ally star Ross Lynch and DWTS star Riker Lynch, before his LA show on Wednesday July 20th at The Roxy. The talented DJ and songwriter told us about going on the road with Olivia Holt (Kickin It, I Didn’t Do It), his newest hit single “Take Me There,” and more. This marks Ryland’s first tour without his brothers and sister, who are also known as pop-rock band R5. Check out our exclusive interview and some videos/photos from his set.
On his new single “Take Me There”
It’s all about a place you want to be, like if you want to be somewhere- like take me there! –Ryland
On his musical style:
I definitely want to make music like The Chainsmokers- Calvin Harris Mix. Cuz Calvin Harris has like those drops but like Chainsmokers have like that dirtiness to it that’s like sexy. I think my music is pretty pop for my fans– Ryland
Ryland gave an amazing set. He was really interactive with the crowd and even brought Ross and Rocky on stage with him. He threw in some Top 40 hits and made sure to play his singles before closing the show. The crowd loved him.
This is my first show without R5, it’s pretty crazy…It’s going to be weird not having all my brothers on the bus to hang out with at night. -Ryland
On collaborating with R5:
Doing an EDM song with Ross’s voice on it would be hype! -Ryland
