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, representing the various origins of Australians. As Ryan admitted that he is not really a singer, he collaborated with Justice Crew to assist him.[3] He also had Delta Goodrem to give him personal singing lessons.[4]

Ryan wrote most of the lyrics of "Where You From?", which celebrates multiculturalism in Australia, mentioning several nationalities and suburbs.[5]

Promotion

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

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