EdgeMusic Artist of the Year Semi-Finalist, Seymore, Has Called It Quits

We knew we would eventually witness the first breakup of a band in our EdgeMusic alumni sooner or later. We almost saw it happen twice, when Sound the Alarm and First Class Fever went on hiatus. The first break-up just happened with one of this year's Artist of the Year Semi-Finalists, Seymoure. Last Friday, Wes posted a blog about the status of the band.

"I'm sure many people have guessed by the lack of activity on the myspace but for those who didn't put two and two together, we've decided to call it quits on old Seymoure. It's been a great two years, but due to school and different goals in life we've decided to hang up our hats. Stay tuned for more details on our final show. And thank you to anyone who has ever bought a CD/Shirt, come to a show, or even just left us a comment. I don't know if you realize it but you left an impact on these four boys from East Texas."

We are sorry to hear about this tragic news, but we wish everyone in the band the best of luck with their futures.

Who Is Ryan Star?

Ryan Star pulled in an astonishing amount of support from fans that voted to make him the new EdgeMusic Artist of the Week. With that much support, we want to know what makes him that special to everyone, and where did this all originate from. We are about to figure out right now who is Ryan Star.

Ryan Star Kulchinsky was born in Dix Hills, which is located in Long Island, New York, on January 7th, 1978. He started to play music at a young age, and at age 14, he formed his own band Stage. He was the lead singer alongside Petr Anselmo, Greg Meyer and Justin Parker. They were signed to Maverick Records, and their self-titled debut was released in 2003. Unfortunately, the band parted ways in that same year.

Three years later in 2006, Ryan Star made his solo breakthrough on the CBS talent show "Rock Star Supernova".

Just one question, and it doesn't involve Hayley's new hair color. There's no problem with that. The question is: Why does the gravedigger bury the girl after the she falls into the hole? He may not even know if she's really dead or not.
