Her style is similar to that of bands like Modern Talking, London Boys, and Bad Boys Blue (she has also on occasion collaborated with Modern Talking’s Dieter Bohlen). Some of the songs from her debut album resemble Modern Talking songs considerably, You’re My Love, You’re My Life (You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul), I’m Feeling So Blue (There’s Too Much Blue In Missing You), and the song Chinese Eyes even is based around melodies from “You’re My Heart, You’re My Soul”. She also sang Danuta Lato’s hit “Touch My Heart”.

Ryan had her start in music business with the rockabilly formation Susi & die Rockets, which also participated in the ZDF-Hitparade in 1981 with the song Dieses Haus ist kein Bahnhof (German version of Sweet Lolita from the British rockabilly band Matchbox).

Patty Ryan’s newest releases are the 2005 CD single “I Gave You All My Love”, the 2006 compilation All The Best (Otre-Media), the hits “Ohne Zweifel” (2004), and “Lass mir doch mal meinen Spass” (2005) in Germany.
