Song:Something More
Album:Home
Ryan Malcolm won season one of Canadian Idol in 2003. You didn't know there was a Canadian Idol? It's been franchised everywhere. I have always said that Idol is a double edged sword. Winning doesn't always convert to pop music stardom. Malcolm topped the Canadian charts with Something More released right after he won. But he only released one album and then formed the band Low Level Flight. He was born Oct. 13, 1979 in Kingston, ON and he grew up in nearby Amherstview. His dad and step-mom opened a restaurant in Napanee. Malcolm performed with his father. His brother Reagan joined and they were called A Bit of Nostalgia. They must have been a cover band. Malcolm attended the same high school in Napanee as Avril Lavigne. Then he auditioned for Canadian Idol and he won. After Something More topped the Canadian charts, the album Home was released. It was certified Platinum in Canada. Perry Alexander produced Something More and three other songs on the album. He had produced BMG Canada artist Shawn Desman. He usually works with his brother Adam Alexander (piano) and Chris Perry (guitar). They wrote Something More with veteran producer Rupert Gayle and they played on the album. After his Canadian Idol commitments, Malcolm formed the band Low Level Flight in 2006. They released two albums and then split up in 2013. Malcolm is a real estate agent and he has just released a music video for the film Age of Dysphoria starring Canadian acting legend Gordon Pinsent. Canadian Idol ran for six seasons. It doesn't look like any of the winners were successful long term. That's why Idol is a double edged sword. That brief success doesn't usually last. Here's the video for Something More by Ryan Malcolm. Sorry about the poor quality. It's the only copy I could find.
