'''George Ryan Ross III''' (born August 30, 1986<ref name=Bday>[http://www.movietome.com/people/465279/ryan-ross/index.html MovieTome: Ryan Ross]</ref> in [[Las Vegas metropolitan area|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]]) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter most known for his work as the [[lead guitarist]], [[backup vocalist]] and main [[songwriter]] for the band [[Panic! at the Disco]], before his departure from the band in 2009. Ross and former Panic bassist [[Jon Walker]] are the founding members of the band [[The Young Veins]], in which Ross is the lead singer.<ref>http://stereokill.net/2009/07/29/ryan-ross-and-jon-walker-are-the-young-veins/</ref> Most recently, Ryan has been credited as a composer for [[Vices & Virtues]].

==Biography==
===Early musical beginnings===
Ross got a guitar for Christmas when he was 12, and began collaborating with best friend [[Spencer Smith]] who received a drum kit. Ross and Smith mostly covered [[Blink-182]] songs with Ross on vocals. Their two-piece band was originally called Pet Salamander. Ryan wrote lyrics to his first song when he was 14 years old.

They teamed up with Brent Wilson and another boy named Trevor on guitar to make "Summer League" before they met [[Brendon Urie]] and formed Panic! At The Disco.

===Formation of The Young Veins===
On July 13, 2009 Ryan Ross spoke with [[MTV]] about his split from the Panic! at the Disco. He stated that "the split had been in the cards for sometime now. It just took everyone a while to realize it". Ross told MTV that he and the remaining members of Panic! at the Disco are still good friends and had recently spoken over the [[Fourth of July]] weekend. Ross spoke about his and Walker's upcoming project as well. "He and Walker are writing and recording songs (with ''[[Pretty. Odd.]]'' producer Rob Mathes) at a lightning-quick pace, and they'll soon be revealing the fruits of their labor". Since then, their new band called The Young Veins has released their song "Change" onto the Internet.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ryan Ross talks about the breakup of the band with MTV News |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1615771/20090713/panic_at_the_disco.jhtml |publisher=MTV News |date=/July 13, 2009 |accessdate=2009-07-13}}</ref>

On July 15, 2009, Ross told MTV that the new sound he and Walker are working on is, "They're more, uh, I wouldn't want to say 'heavy,' but I guess I would have to, in the sense of, like, early garage music and [[The Kinks|Kinks]] and stuff. The songs are shorter and faster, and I guess they're more rock and roll than flowery stuff". He talked about how there is probably not going to be any orchestration on the album, unlike ''Pretty. Odd.'', which was loaded with orchestration. He and Walker are also recording with the help of [[Alex Greenwald]] from [[Phantom Planet]] along with Panic!'s former touring keyboard player, Eric Ronick. According to Ross, he and Walker are trying to release their new single tentatively titled, "Change". However, Ross is contractually bound to [[Fueled By Ramen]] to provide new music whereas Walker is not. He wants to be released from his contract with [[Fueled by Ramen]] "because it doesn't seem like it's going to be the right place for this stuff, and I think everybody knows that, on both sides, [FBR President] John Janick included. It's just been taking some time to get worked out." Regardless, the single will still be released. The new material is supposed to sound closer to Panic! at the Disco's 2008 single "It's Almost Halloween". He hopes to release the album this year, find a backing band, and hit the road. <ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1616325/20090715/index.jhtml |title=Ryan Ross talks "New Band" |accessdate=2009-07-15 |date=2009-07-15 |format= |work= |publisher=MTV}}</ref>

On October 16, Ryan Ross had an interview with MTV saying that their first record, ''[[Take a Vacation!]]'', is done, and they are working to find a record company willing to release it.<ref> http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1624060/20091016/story.jhtml </ref>

The Young Veins were signed to One Haven Music and their debut was released on June 8th, 2010. On December 10, 2010, The Young Veins entered on a hiatus period.

===Future projects===
Most recently, Ryan was credited as a composer on ex-band [[Panic! at the Disco]] album ''[[Vices & Virtues]]'' for the track "Nearly Witches (Ever Since We Met...)", a song that was originally created whilst Ryan and Jon were still in the band. He also recorded a song titled "Superbowl Hero" under a new band, RAM. It is unsure whether or not the band will release more music.
