Ryan Starr was born Tiffany Ryan Montgomery on the 21st November 1982 in Compton, Los Angeles, California. She is a female singer and songwriter. She ranked seventh on the season one of the talent search television series American Idol, won by Kelly Clarkson. She gained a fan base based on her vocal talents and sexy image. She has appeared in numerous movies and both reality and scripted television programs. Although her music career has been held back; her iTunes exclusive single, My Religion, landed her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records, and peaked at number one on the US Billboard hot Digital Songs Chart selling 360,000 units. She has been quoted as saying, "I fell in love with the raw emotions rock has to offer. Music is simply my life, I live through it." Once she knew what kind of music she wanted to sing, she began to do anything and everything to sing and get on stage. Still only a teenager, she worked for free as a waitress at clubs to sing on stage afterwards. She has placed the blame for her stalled music career on a two-year restrictive recording contract with RCA Records, a legacy of American Idol. Under this contract, she refused to record, claiming producers wanted to turn her into an Avril Lavigne type singer. After a three year legal battle she was released from contract in 2005.
