American Idol captivated audiences when it debuted in 2001, and it's cousin Canadian Idol did the same in Summer 2003, becoming the most popular program in Canadian television history.

Ryan Malcolm was working at his family’s restaurant in Amherstview, Ontario, and singing in his family’s band – sometimes both at the same time - when he became one of 16,000 to audition for Canadian Idol.

From his first round audition in Ottawa, to those nail-biting, blood-rushing final moments with record breaking television viewers peering in, Ryan Malcolm went from relative unknown obscurity to a household name.
