From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ryan Monro, born in 1981 in Australia is a band member in The Cat Empire. His role in the band is bass guitar, double bass and backing vocal. He studied Jazz at VCA and has been playing bass guitar since the age of 12, and double bass since he was 14. He studied at Frankston High School. Many believe he took a photo of bongos on a skateboard as part of Media Studies, but it is still under debate.
Ryan, also known as Rizza, is the writer of The Cat Empire's Band News which is updated regularly with stories from the road, photos, videos and gig details when the band is on tour at home and abroad.
His predictonym pseudonym is 'Swam', which is fitting as he likes to swim while on tour and often does things in the past tense.
