Lunchbox
 
Ryan Masterson (LunchBox) was born on August 11, 1983 in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. LunchBox's whole child involved moving from state to state never finding a place to call home. LunchBox and his family have lived all over the east coast in places such as Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey just to name a few. LunchBox's parents divorced when he was very young. His father moved to Chicago, IL and he stayed with his mother in York, PA where he lived with his older brother and sister. LunchBox did not spend a lot of time with his father so he never really had a father figure growing up. His mother remarried and than moved to Indianapolis, IN where his step-father's work was. Through trials and tribulations with a alcoholic mother and a step-father who is abusive things got out of control and LunchBox went to go live with his father in Chicago, IL. This is where he began to realize his love for music. If LunchBox had to choose what album influenced him the most growing up he would probably say, Dr. Dre "The Chronic." Starting to write rhymes at about 7 years of age he knew that this was it. Coming into high school not getting along with his father and living the typical teenage rebel life, he looked to music as an escape tool working with a small producer in his high school. During LunchBox's high school career he released three underground albums that he did on his own. He was responsible for both production and design and he would perform in his high school cafeteria during lunch periods. Graduating high school in 2002 LunchBox starting attending college, but that wasn't the only thing on his mind. LunchBox met up with Aaron Schwartz (Quoth) at a friend's apartment during a recording session where he would hear LunchBox for the first time. LunchBox began recording with Quoth at his own personal studio that they now call Absynth Entertainment INC. Now partners with Quoth on the production side and LunchBox on the performance side, they have not yet found a bridge that they cannot cross. Currently LunchBox and Quoth are working on LunchBox's debut titled, "Disorderly Conduct." Also LunchBox and Quoth are currently doing shows all around the Chicago land area. This is a new day and LunchBox just stamped his name on it.
