Ryn Weaver (born 1992/1993)[2] is an American pop singer-songwriter who first garnered attention with the single "OctaHate" in June 2014. Billboard called the single a viral sensation.[3] Her debut album, The Fool, followed in 2015.

Early life

[edit]

Ryn Weaver was born in Encinitas, California,[1] to Maxwell "Max" Wuthrich, an architect, and Cynthia. She has Irish, Swiss, German, and Ukrainian ancestry.[4] She has three brothers; Parker, Taylor, and Christopher. Weaver has stated that at a young age she chose to change the spelling of her name, Erin, to Aryn, claiming the original spelling was "ordinary and didn't suit [her]".[5] The rest of her stage name, Weaver, is her mother's maiden name.[6] She spent years learning different art forms including musical theater, painting, acting as well as music at Canyon Crest Academy[citation needed] in San Diego.[3] Weaver moved to New York City for college to pursue her acting career where she attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before dropping out.[7] She then moved back to California.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

Weaver met producer Benny Blanco briefly in New York. A few years later they reconnected at Blanco's birthday party through a mutual friend in Los Angeles. Blanco signed Weaver to his imprint under Interscope Records, Friends Keep Secrets.[3][7]

On June 21, 2014, Weaver posted her single "OctaHate" on her SoundCloud account and within hours it received attention from many artists including Charli XCX, Charlie Puth, Harry Styles,[3][8] Jessie Ware and Hayley Williams of Paramore.[3][9] The song also reached number one on Billboard Emerging Artists Chart on June 25, 2014.[8]

On August 12, 2014, Weaver's debut EP, Promises was released as a digital download. Weaver's debut studio album, entitled The Fool, was released on June 16, 2015, through Mad Love and Interscope Records.[10] It sold 13,800 units in its first week.[11] Weaver performed at Lollapalooza on August 1, 2015.[12][13] She performed at Billboard's first ever Hot 100 Festival on August 23, 2015.[14]

On September 14, 2018, Neon Gold released Weaver's demo single titled "Reasons Not to Die".[15] This was her first song in three years since The Fool.
