After the band split up, Ryan and Dan Kowarsky went on to form the vocal, musical, songwriting and producing duo RyanDan.

Following their success in Canada, the trio b4-4 headed to Germany, signing with Universal Music / Polydor under the name Before Four. They released a second album In Your Face.

B4-4 disbanded in 2006. After the break up, Ryan and Dan Kowarsky formed the duo group RyanDan and released two albums, RyanDan in 2007 and Imagine in 2014.
