==Biography==
Born in [[Bellshill]] and raised in [[Coatbridge]]. Lawrie was raised a Celtic fan. Lawrie started his musical career posting covers on YouTube before being signed to Tutrax Records. Ryans first single "You're Free" was released in 2013, and rose into the UK [[iTunes]] charts at number 39. Lawrie later joined UK boyband Exposure, who completed two UK tours. Lawrie left Exposure to continue as a solo artist.

In 2016, Lawrie auditioned for ''[[The X Factor (UK TV series)|The X Factor]]'' in front of judges [[Simon Cowell]], [[Nicole Scherzinger]] and [[Louis Walsh]]. He received three yeses and progressed to the boot camp stage of the competition. He was eliminated at boot camp, before returning as part of an unnamed boyband.

==Career==

===2013: "You're Free"===
On 28 March 2013, Lawrie released his debut single titled "You're Free" which was devoted to a terminally ill fan who had asked him to write a song. Due to exams he was unable to write and record the song until after the fan had died. The song was released in memory of the young fan with all proceedings being donated to [[Yorkhill Children's Hospital]], and the song peaking at number 39 in the iTunes UK singles chart.<ref>{{cite news|author=Aimee Beveridge |url=http://news.stv.tv/west-central/219074-coatbridges-ryan-lawrie-offered-recording-contract-with-song-youre-free/ |title=Coatbridge's Ryan Lawrie offered recording contract with song You're Free |work=[[Scottish Television]] |date=26 March 2013 |accessdate=23 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Clyde1 |url=http://www.clyde1.com/news/local/coatbridge-teenager-singing-for-yorkhill/ |title=Coatbridge Teenager Singing For Yorkhill |work=Scottish Radio |date=26 March 2013 |accessdate=27 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Herald Scotland |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/home-news/schoolboys-gift-in-tune-with-yorkhill.20653315 |title=Schoolboy's gift in tune with Yorkhill |work=Scottish Newspaper |date=30 March 2013 |accessdate=27 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Matty Sutton |url=http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/itunes-tribute-to-tragic-tumour-girl-119809n.20617342 |title=iTunes tribute to tragic tumour girl |work=Scottish Newspaper |date=29 March 2013 |accessdate=27 March 2014}}</ref>

===2016– present: "If Only" and ''The X Factor''===

During 2016, Lawrie released his second single "If Only". Although it did not make an impact on the iTunes singles chart, it earned him recognition as a [[Vodafone]] "Future Breaker", winning a vote to perform at the Capital FM Summertime Ball, where he performed a cover of "[[Stitches (song)|Stitches]]" by [[Shawn Mendes]].<ref>{{cite news|author=Capital FM official website |url=http://www.capitalfm.com/events/summertime-ball/videos/performances/ryan-lawrie-shawn-mendes-stitches-cover/ |title= Vodafone Future Breaker Ryan Lawrie hits the stage to sing for 80,000 fans at the #CapitalSTB!|date=11 June 2016 |accessdate=26 September 2016}}</ref>

Lawrie auditioned for the [[The X Factor (UK series 13)|thirteenth series]] of ''[[The X Factor (UK TV series)|The X Factor]]'' in front of judges [[Simon Cowell]], [[Nicole Scherzinger]] and [[Louis Walsh]] (fourth judge [[Sharon Osbourne]] was absent). He performed "[[Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)]]" by [[The Vamps (British band)|The Vamps]] featuring Shawn Mendes,<ref>{{cite news|author=The X Factor official YouTube channel |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF3dV2kZArI |title=Ryan Lawrie takes on The Vamps’ Oh Cecilia |date=27 August 2016 |accessdate=26 September 2016}}</ref> and received three yeses to progress to the boot camp stage. The audition was aired on [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] on Saturday 27 August 2016, during episode 1. During boot camp, Lawrie was put into a group to sing "[[Little Things (One Direction song)|Little Things]]" alongside Melissa Pedro and Freddy Parker, and whilst they all progressed through the first stage,<ref>{{cite news|author=The X Factor official YouTube channel |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_-uXeS4snA |title=Freddy Parker, Ryan Lawrie and Melissa Pedro sing Little Things |date=18 September 2016 |accessdate=26 September 2016}}</ref> Lawrie was sent home at the second stage.

Lawrie was later put together as part of a boyband alongside Ed Goacher, Jamie Miller, Josh Marshfield and Talis Eros,<ref>{{cite news|author=Ryan Lawrie |url=https://twitter.com/RyanLawrie_/status/780160109964034048 |title= "I want to say thank you to these boys @EdGoacher_FL @jamiemillmusic @JTMarshyy @taliseros cause without you, this wouldn't have happened" |date=25 September 2016 |accessdate=26 September 2016}}</ref> and the unnamed boyband took part in the six chair challenge stage of ''The X Factor''. They performed "[[Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word]]", and did not progress, as Cowell felt he had made a mistake by not sending Lawrie through as a solo artist. He was announced on ''[[The Xtra Factor (UK TV series)|The Xtra Factor]]'' as the wildcard act for the boys category and would be progressing to judges' houses, to be mentored by Scherzinger. Lawrie performed "[[You Make My Dreams]]" in front of Scherzinger and guest judge [[Calvin Harris]] during judges' houses,<ref>{{cite news|author=The X Factor official YouTube channel |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOAee6ajZcc |title=Can Ryan Lawrie make his dreams come true? |date=2 October 2016 |accessdate=6 October 2016}}</ref> and made it to the final 3 boys, taking part in the live shows.<ref>{{cite news|author=The X Factor official website |url=http://www.itv.com/xfactor/nicoles-final-reveal-ryan-lawrie-and-niall-sexton-find-out-who-gets-the-last-place |title=Can Nicole's final reveal: Ryan Lawrie and Niall Sexton find out who gets the last place! |date=2 October 2016 |accessdate=6 October 2016}}</ref> On 6 November 2016, Lawrie was confirmed to be taking part on The X Factor Live Tour 2017 alongside the rest of the final 8 in the contest, playing at venues around the UK in February and March 2017 including [[The O2 Arena]].<ref>{{cite news|author=The X Factor official website |url=http://www.itv.com/xfactor/tour/the-x-factor-live-tour-2017-final-acts |title=The X Factor Live Tour 2017: Final acts confirmed! |date=6 November 2016 |accessdate=7 November 2016}}</ref>
