It was produced by Pure Flix Entertainment and centers on a Christian family.[17][18][19] In October 2009, Ryan hosted the first Tween Girl Summit Music Festival.[20] "Tween girls are drawn to talented performers who emanate the joy of life, and we are so happy to have teen favorite Debby Ryan as the first host of The Tween Summit Music Festival," said Denise Restauri, founder of The Tween Summit, AllyKatzz.com and AK Tweens.[20] Ryan was set to headline the "Terrific Teen Tour", a concert series which co-headlined Mitchel Musso, Jasmine Richards and Savannah Outen to start on July 9, 2009 and end on July 14, but it was canceled due to schedule conflicts.[21] The tour would have been Ryan's debut as a live musician.[22] In 2010, she starred in the young adult film 16 Wishes, which introduced her to more mature audiences.[23][24][25] She watched numerous Brat Pack movies to prepare for the role.[26]

On February 17, 2012, Ryan starred in another Disney Channel movie entitled Radio Rebel as Tara, a very shy teenage who dreads speaking to anyone in her school, but in the privacy of her bedroom, she incorporates the most famous radio persona of the internet under the nickname 'Radio Rebel'. She released a cover version of "We Got the Beat", by The Go-Go's, as the promotional single for the film on February 21.[36] On August 31, 2012, she voiced the character Spike in the Tinker Bell film Secret of the Wings. Also in 2012, she formed the indie band The Never Ending with guitarist Kyle Moore and drummer Johnny Franco.[37] She plays several instruments, including the guitar, piano, and keyboard.[38]

In July 2012, Ryan started work on a clothing line for 2013. She said she was in the beginning stages of building herself a fashion brand and revealed that she has been looking into designers and interviewing brands she might like to work with.[39] In 2013, Ryan starred in the film Kristin's Christmas Past as Haddie. She recorded an appearance in the film Muppets Most Wanted, released on March 21, 2014, as Savana, but the scene was deleted. The scene was later reinstated in the Blu-ray release's extended version.[40] On June 1, The Never Ending released their debut single, "Mulholland Drive", with a premiere on the Billboard website.[41] Their debut EP One was released on June 24,[42] featuring album art with a circus-theme.[43] She also appeared in the show TV series Mighty Med as Jade and was guest mentor in the fifth season of Fashion Police. On April 17, 2015, an episode of Girl Meets World premiered featuring Ryan as Aubrey Macavoy.[44] On June 23, 2015, The Never Ending debuted their new single, titled "Secondhand".[45] Later that year, the band toured as an opening act for the North American leg of Fifth Harmony's Reflection Tour.[46]

In 2016, Ryan was cast in the NBC police series The Mysteries of Laura in season two as Lucy Diamond, Laura's drugged and trouble-making younger paternal half-sister and the half-aunt of Nicholas and Harrison.[45] At the same time, Ryan was confirmed in the cast of comedy series Sing It!.[47] The show debuted on May 25, 2016, at YouTube Red, a paid service of streaming original series and movies, similar to Netflix.[48] Ryan played Holli Holiday, a famous and egocentric singer, who uses the fictional talent show Sing It! to self-promote.[49] The character was inspired by Paula Abdul.[50] On August 22, Ryan was confirmed to join the VH1 drama series Daytime Divas, based on the book Satan's Sisters by former The View host Star Jones.[51] The series debuted on June 5, 2017.[52] She will play Maddie Finn, an ex-host of The Lunch Hour and rival of Kibby, who wants to return to the show.[53]

In June 2017, Ryan announced via her Instagram account that Netflix had ordered Insatiable to series, after previously being passed on by The CW. The first season premiered on August 10, 2018.[54][55][56] On February 14, 2020, the series was cancelled after two seasons.[57]

In 2020, Ryan co-starred with Alison Brie in the psychological drama film Horse Girl.[58][59] She called the film a turning point in her career, reasoning that "I think that there is no going back after this; … That being said, I admire being in different processes, in different genres, with different storytellers, and it’s incredible on-the-job training — it’s like going back and majoring in something that you never even took as an elective in high school."[60] In the same year, Ryan was cast in Netflix's thriller Night Teeth, directed by Adam Randall.[61] She also appeared in The Opening Act directed by Steve Byrne.[62]

Ryan would join Alison Brie in another movie called Spin Me Round in 2022, and then appear in four episodes of the Peacock Original series The Resort the same year.[63] In 2023, Ryan appeared in Shortcomings, an Asian American relationship drama directed by Randall Park.[64]

Personal life

Ryan is a Christian.[65] She is fluent in German.[7]

She dated Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun from May 2013 to September 2014,[66] and they resumed their relationship at an unknown date.[67] They were married in Austin, Texas on December 31, 2019.[68]

In March 2015, Ryan revealed that she had once been in an abusive relationship, though she described it as a professional relationship rather than a romantic one.[69] She explained that "it was such emotional manipulation to the point where it became physical", and the experience inspired her to team up with Mary Kay and Love is Respect for their "Don't Look Away" anti-domestic violence campaign.[70]

In April 2016, Ryan was arrested for driving under the influence.[71][72] She was initially charged with felony DUI, which was later reduced to two misdemeanors, and was released after posting $100,000 bail.[73] On June 30, she pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to three years of probation, community service, and attending a DUI program.[74]

As of March 2023, Ryan and her husband live in Columbus, Ohio.[75][76]

Artistry

In a 2009 People interview, Ryan stated that her Suite Life co-star, Brenda Song, was her acting idol.[7] In a March 2009 interview, she revealed that she also looked up to Meryl Streep, calling Streep "so profoundly thought-provoking and life-changing". She has said that her other role models include Anne Hathaway, Rachel McAdams and Tobey Maguire.

Ryan has said that her musical style includes folk, indie pop, and country.[77] She cited The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, April Smith and the Great Picture Show and Tom Petty as influences for her band's debut EP.[77][78] When asked about musical tastes, she said, "I love jazz! I love singing it. I also love country! My brother loves rock; he also has this chill Jason Mraz-like style. So basically, my answer is: jazz-country-rock-alternative? I have no idea! But I honestly would love to make country music."
