Tour kicks off May 1
LOS ANGELES, April 14, 2021 - The Whosoevers, a movement created to empower students to realize their true life purpose co-founded by Radio Host Ryan Ries and P.O.D founding member Sonny Sandoval, announced The Whosoevers MEGA TOUR in conjunction with the release of Ries’ new book “Kill The Noise: Finding Meaning Above The Madness.” The tour, which kicked off March 28, includes more than 20 churches, skateparks, schools, concerts, boys and girls homes and rehab facility events featuring speakers, testimonials and skateboarding trick contests.
“Kill The Noise,” set to release on May 11 from Hachette, shares Ries’ story of overcoming the messiness of his life, even when it seemed impossible. Ries hopes “Kill The Noise” will motivate readers to find God and purpose in their lives. The book recognizes how people are surrounded by noise from social media, the entertainment industry, drugs, pornography, etc. and that it is nearly impossible to hear God’s truth with all the distractions.
“Young adults are going through a lot these days with the pandemic and influences of things like social media,” said Ries, co-founder of The Whosoevers movement. “I hope that young adults can learn to kill that collective noise and have fun at these events, so that everyone can hear the voice of God telling them they are loved, they are wanted, and they are His.”
Ries co-founded the Whosoevers in 2009 with Sonny Sandoval, lead singer of P.O.D. The organization inspires students around the globe to break the barriers of substance abuse, sex addiction, mental illness and suicidal thoughts by hosting dynamic live events at schools, skateparks, churches and juvenile detention facilities where young people have the opportunity to be inspired by encouraging messages, music and skateboarding events.

In addition to the MEGA TOUR, The Whosoevers recently released the “Full Send” documentary which was shot during the COVID-19 pandemic during the summer tour in Idaho. The film features events and outreach programs of The Whosoevers movement at skate parks where they share the Word of God with teenagers, encourage them and pray with them.
