"Where You From?" is the debut single by retired Australian professional rugby league footballer and television personality Beau Ryan, featuring Justice Crew. It was released digitally via Sony Music Australia on 19 September 2014.[1] It debuted at number 19 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[2]

Background

"Where You From?" materialised after Beau Ryan's manager met Denis Handlin from Sony. They discussed the possibility of Ryan recording a song. Ryan wanted it to be a light-hearted, fun song, celebrating where everyone's from in Australia. Ryan admits he is not really a singer, so he enlisted the boys from Justice Crew to help him out.[3] He also got Delta Goodrem to give him personal singing lessons.[4]

Ryan wrote most of the lyrics of "Where You From?", which celebrates Australia's multicultural mix and namechecks a raft of nationalities and suburbs.[5]

Promotion

Ryan headed on a national shopping centre signing tour to support the release.[5][6]

Video

The video was filmed in Sydney's western suburbs and was released via Beau Ryan's VEVO account on 18 September 2014.
