Gallagher recently held a press conference to promote his new Christmas single and album, both titled 'The Feeling of Christmas'.
Ryan Gallagher , American singer-songwriter and alumnus of the popular reality singing competition “ The Voice ” has always considered himself to be a part of the service business.
