Ronan Tynan Biography

Irish tenor, recording artist, physician, and champion disabled athlete Ronan Tynan moves audiences like few others can. His stirring performances and personal story of triumph have brought him international fame. The New York Times referred to him as a significant cultural figure.

Tynan has delivered notable performances at historic events including Ronald Reagan’s funeral and the Inaugural Prayer Service at the National Cathedral. His memorable renditions of “God Bless America” have resonated at the World Series, The Belmont Stakes, and other significant events.

Profiled by ABC’s 20/20, People magazine, and CBS Sunday Morning, Tynan was born with a lower limb disability and underwent amputation of his legs at age 20. He began competing in the Paralympic Games within a year, participating in both track and field and as an equestrian. He won 18 gold medals and set 14 world records, nine of which remain unbeaten.

The first disabled person ever admitted to Limerick’s National College of Physical Education, Tynan later earned a medical degree specializing in orthopedic sports injuries. He has been extensively documented, including in the BBC documentary, Dr. Courageous.

Tynan captured the John McCormack Cup for Tenor Voice in 1992 and gained prominence after winning the BBC talent show, Go For It, in 1994. His recording contract with Sony Music led to sold-out concerts worldwide. His debut album, My Life Belongs to You, released in 1998, soared to number five on the charts. That same year, he joined Anthony Kearns and John McDermott as The Irish Tenors, which became an instant worldwide sensation.

His album Ronan debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Classical Crossover Chart. He released Sing Me an Irish Song in 2009, a collection of Irish favorites, and his latest album, All Kinds of Everything, showcases classic performances from his musical career. Tynan captivates audiences with his humor, lively spirit, and inspirational message about overcoming obstacles and living life to the fullest.

In 2011, Tynan accepted the position of Alltech Artist in Residence at the University of Kentucky, enhancing his role in education and the arts. He has been recognized with several prestigious awards including Alltech’s first-ever Humanitarian Award, an Eire Society of Boston Gold Medal, and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
