R5 is one of the fastest growing teen bands in Los Angeles, featuring Ross Lynch from Disney Channel's new hit show, "Austin & Ally" and Riker Lynch from the Fox television show "Glee", along with siblings Rocky Lynch, Rydel Lynch and Ellington Ratliff.
R5 is a unique group of siblings born and raised in Littleton, Colorado. They have always had a fascinated group of followers and fans, ever since they showed up at their first performance in their matching outfits at the age of six on down to one. They’ve been performing, singing, dancing and acting, since they all could barely walk. Finally moving to Los Angeles in the fall of 2007, they’ve struck a chord in Hollywood, working on nearly 100 different theatrical, commercial and dancing projects.
After adding the crucial missing link, the best friend and drummer “Ratliff” to the family band, they are even more excited about their musical future. They can be seen playing live shows throughout the LA basin, from Six Flags Magic Mountain to The San Diego County Fair.
With Riker’s recurring role on Glee and Ross’s new starring role on Disney, the R5 fan base is growing rapidly around the world. Many of those fans are seasoned Hollywood producers and musicians that are surprised at the writing and performance skills the band has shown at such a young age.
With a full CD of pop/rock original songs, the band is now working toward their next objective of getting a major label recording contract.

Ratliff's real first name is Ellington, but his band mates quickly nominated him to be known as "Ratliff" so he could complete the band and still have an "R" name, thus keeping the R5 name intact.
Ratliff is definitely the relaxed, comic relief of the band, never getting too worked up about anything, which is a great contributing factor to the bands success.
But the real benefit of having Ratliff around is his amazing drum skills. R5 was not really a band until he showed up and then it was like magic, with everything coming together with the sound of those drums.
Ellington is also an impressive SAG actor, with a long resume of TV and movie credits and has also been seen dancing with the other members of R5 on many shows, like So You Think You Can Dance.

Even when he was a very small child, Ross had that little extra something, that charisma that attracted people to him. When he was three or four years old, he could often be found in a deep conversation with an adult, usually a complete stranger, that was captivated by his smile and energy and his unique ability to communicate with anyone.
Today, that same attraction has shot him to the forefront of the entertainment industry, where Ross is starring in the new Disney show, "Austin & Ally" airing on Sundays, starting Dec 4th.
Ross also plays rhythm guitar with R5 and has co-written several original songs with the band
