Born on May 13, 1993, in Huntsville, Alabama, Debby Ann Ryan is the daughter of a military personnel. Due to her father's career, she spent much of her early childhood living in various parts of Europe. During these years, she developed an interest in performing arts, frequently participating in talent shows and theater groups wherever her family was stationed. Her family eventually settled in Texas, where she spent the rest of her formative years. Ryan has mentioned in interviews that she was considered a "nerd" in school and experienced instances of bullying during middle school.
Ryan's passion for acting emerged at a young age, leading her to appear in television commercials before securing her first on-screen roles. In 2007, she landed a guest role in the video release "Barney: Let's Go to the Firehouse." That same year, she appeared in a supporting role in the film The Longshots. Her major breakthrough came when Disney Channel cast her as Bailey Pickett in The Suite Life on Deck, a spin-off of the popular show The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. The series quickly became one of the top-rated shows among teens and tweens, rivaling other Disney hits like Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place.
In 2009, Ryan expanded her career by entering the film industry with a role in the faith-based independent movie What If.... That same year, she hosted the inaugural Tween Girl Summit Music Festival. Her popularity grew significantly with the release of the 2010 Disney Channel Original Movie 16 Wishes, which targeted youth audiences and showcased her comedic and emotional range. She also appeared in The Suite Life Movie, which aired in 2011 as a continuation of her Disney Channel success.
Later in 2011, she began starring in another Disney Channel series, Jessie, playing the title role of a young nanny who moves to New York City. In addition to acting, Ryan made her directorial debut on Jessie, becoming the youngest female director in Disney Channel history. Her versatility shone again in 2012 with the Disney film Radio Rebel, and she also lent her voice to the character Spike in the Disney Fairies movie Secret of the Wings.
In 2014, Debby Ryan tapped into her musical interests by forming an indie band named The Never Ending along with musicians Kyle Moore and Johnny Franco. The band released their debut EP, One, blending alternative and pop-rock influences. Ryan plays multiple instruments, including guitar, piano, and keyboard, and has credited artists such as Tom Petty, April Smith, and Christina Aguilera as sources of inspiration for her musical style.
Ryan has cited Brenda Song as a major influence on her acting aspirations, as well as admiring actors like Tobey Maguire, Rachel McAdams, and Anne Hathaway. Raised with Christian values, she remains open about her faith and how it shapes her life and values. Outside of acting and music, she has shown an interest in fashion and has been in the early stages of launching her own clothing line.

As part of this program, she traveled to a small village called Lai Gow in Udaipur, India, where she connected with local communities and promoted the cause of environmental awareness.
