Ryan Christopher Shuck (born April 11, 1973), better known as Ryan Shuck, is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer, producer, and entrepreneur. He has been a founding member of the successful industrial rock band Orgy. As of now, he is the leader of the Electronic rock / indietronica / dance project Julien-K and the guitarist and backing vocalist of Dead By Sunrise, the alternative rock side project of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington. Growing up, Shuck played in the Bakersfield-based rock band Sexart, alongside Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, Adema bassist Dave DeRoo, and Videodrone frontman Ty Elam. Aside from his musical career, Shuck is also a successful entrepreneur who owns four popular restaurants in the Orange County, CA area and a recording studio in Long Beach, CA.
