<h2>Early Life and Musical Beginnings</h2>
<p><a href="/biography/ryan-ross">George Ryan Ross III</a> was born on August 30, 1986, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Raised in a middle-class family, Ross was introduced to music at an early age. He received his first guitar at the age of 12 as a Christmas gift, which sparked his interest in songwriting and performance. He began collaborating with his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Smith_(musician)">best friend</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Smith_(musician)">Spencer Smith</a>, who had a drum kit. Together, they played covers of Blink-182 songs, with Ross contributing vocals.</p>

<p>During high school, Ross formed a band called Summer League alongside guitarist Trevor Howell and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Wilson">bassist</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Wilson">Brent Wilson</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Wilson">Wilson</a> eventually transferred to Palo Verde High School, where he met <a href="/biography/brendon-urie">Brendon Urie</a> in a guitar class. Impressed by <a href="/biography/brendon-urie">Urie</a>'s playing, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Wilson">Wilson</a> invited him to fill in for Howell during a performance. After Ross fell ill during a rehearsal and <a href="/biography/brendon-urie">Urie</a> stepped in as vocalist, the band recognized <a href="/biography/brendon-urie">Urie</a>'s vocal talent and made him the lead singer. This collaboration led to the formation of Panic! At the Disco.</p>

<h2>Panic! At the Disco and Creative Direction</h2>
<p>Ryan Ross served as the lead guitarist, backup vocalist, and primary songwriter for Panic! At the Disco. His lyrical and musical contributions were most prominent on the band’s debut album, <em>A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out</em> (2005), and especially on their second studio album, <em>Pretty. Odd.</em> (2008), which reflected a shift in musical style towards a more Beatlesque sound.</p>

<p>In 2009, Ross and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Walker">bassist</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Walker">Jon Walker</a> left Panic! At the Disco due to creative differences. Ross later explained that the departure stemmed from varying musical interests, with he and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Walker">Walker</a> wanting to explore a different artistic direction apart from bandmates <a href="/biography/brendon-urie">Brendon Urie</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Smith_(musician)">Spencer Smith</a>.</p>

<h2>The Young Veins and Collaborative Projects</h2>
<p>Following their exit from Panic! At the Disco, Ross and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Walker">Walker</a> formed The Young Veins. The group pursued a retro pop-rock style and released their debut album, <em>Take a Vacation!</em>, in 2010. While the band received moderate acclaim, it disbanded after a relatively brief run.</p>

<p>Ross also collaborated with other artists across various projects. He appeared in the music video for "Clothes Off!!" by Gym Class Heroes and featured in "One of THOSE Nights" by The Cab, alongside Fall Out Boy’s <a href="/biography/pete-wentz">Pete Wentz</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Stump">Patrick Stump</a>.
