YouTube Star Ryan Beatty Flies High With Airplane Performance

(Radio.com) YouTube star Ryan Beatty is used to performing for thousands but admits he still gets nerves before a gig. The 17-year-old "Hey L.A." singer got his start on YouTube just like Justin Bieber and revealed to B96/Chicago the story behind a last minute gig on an airplane.

"I probably get more nervous for the smaller shows, but when it's acoustic in front of a group of my supporters, it's not as nerve-wracking," he said.

He somehow managed to get passed this fear earlier in the week when his plane was delayed during a snowstorm and he was asked to provide some entertainment.

"I was sitting there, and one of my band members was talking to the flight attendant, and he told her I was a singer, so she was like 'Sing in front of everybody!'" Ryan recalled. "It was nerve-wracking because I didn't know any of these people. It was a super small airplane and I didn't know if people were going to be grumpy about it. But they were cool, and it was a lot of fun." In a video of his performance we see the entire scene develop.
