LISTEN NOW: Extra Frosting: Ryan Cabrera - Frosted Tips with Lance Bass
First up for discussion, Ryan shared the story of how he moved to Los Angeles to live with Joe, Tina, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, impressed the first label rep he ever met, and turned his dreams of Rubix Groove stardom into a solo career with his first single and hit “On The Way Down.” And the rest is frosted tips, guitar strumming, Ashlee Simpson dating history.
Later on in the pod, Ryan talked about his wedding, from the crazy, amazing, eclectic guest list that included everyone from Sarah Michelle Geller to Debby Gibson, to the bold dress code. And most unexpected of all, how and why his wedding, well marriage, almost didn’t happen because of Lance’s former band member Chris Kirkpatrick.
Prefacing the story that his wife Alexis had started telling by how they first met at one of Ryan’s shows with Chris and Joey Fatone in Orlando, Ryan noted he hadn’t seen Chris in “about six months,” and the night before the show Chris wanted to go to Jelly Rolls, a dueling piano spot, “to get turnt up” the night before the show.
Knowing the next night would be the first time he met Alexis, Ryan told himself, “Ryan, this girl doesn’t know you, you don’t know her, don’t get drunk with Chris and try to FaceTime her.” Obviously he did… “I woke up the next morning” he recalled, “two FaceTimes to Lex, both of them answered, and I don’t remember either.”
Despite the embarrassment he truly attempted to avoid, Ryan reached out to ask if she still planned to come to the show that night. To which Alexis responded, “if you promise me one thing… if you never FaceTime me like that ever again.” Ryan promised and well the rest is dope wedding, wedded (Alexa) Bliss history.
To find out exactly what was said during that FaceTime and a whole lot more, like a new music alert from Ryan, and crazy fan moments — press play on the episode above.
