RyanDan, the Canadian classicalâcrossover duo formed by identical twin brothers Ryan Kowarsky and Dan Kowarsky, were born on 5â¯Decemberâ¯1979 in Toronto, Ontario; Ryan is the elder by three minutes and leftâhanded while Dan is rightâhanded. Growing up in a musically inclined Jewish family, the twins were exposed to opera and pop from an early age, a background that shaped their vocal style. Their first commercial breakthrough came with the single "Like The Sun" in Septemberâ¯2007, which preceded the release of their fullâlength album RyanDan (2007â09â24), recorded with producer Steve Anderson and released under Universal Records. The album entered the UK Topâ¯10 and achieved Gold status in the United Kingdom, Canada and Hong Kong, marking the first time an identicalâtwin duo reached the UK Topâ¯10. Subsequent releases included the single "O Holy Night" (2007â12â03) and "Is Love Enough (To Save the World)"? After touring across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, the duo announced their second album Silence Speaks in 2010. RyanDanâs career has been noted for its blend of classical operatic technique with contemporary pop sensibilities, and for their unique position as the first identicalâtwin duo to secure a UK Topâ¯10 album.
