Landing a principal role at 16 years old, the talented singer/actor was featured on the accompanying soundtrack. He wrote the rap part to the much loved single ?Joyful, Joyful? which also featured newcomer Lauryn Hill and was a featured soloist on the single ?Oh Happy Day?. After filming Ryan was put in touch with Jazzy Jeff and was invited to Philadelphia. Jeff and Ryan bonded and he was asked to sign to his Touch of Jazz Production Company. It was during that time that Will Smith visited with Jeff. Smith was working on his upcoming album titled Big Willie Style. Smith heard Ryan and wanted him to work on his album.
