Ron Pope @ The Ruby Lounge January 7, 2013

Ron Pope's extraordinary success story should give any record industry doomsayer hope. He is a hugely talented New York based singer, gifted guitarist & prolific songwriter with an incredible bluesy voice. He’s also an Internet sensation whose achievements are almost a preview of the music business of the future: viral, organic & hype-free.

Ron’s song ‘A Drop In The Ocean’ sold over a million downloads & a fan video of the track has had a staggering 17 million YouTube views. The song also featured on The Vampire Diaries & 90210. Ron has had repeated placements on US & Canadian TV’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ which sent two of his LPs into the Itunes chart simultaneously. He’s achieved all of this as an independent artist – no mean feat. Ron is also an incredibly prolific songwriter & has released 7 LPs since 2008, 3 in 2009 alone!

New LP 'Atlanta’ is full of big anthemic numbers & tender ballads just crying out for arena crowd sing alongs & lighters in the air moments. It marks a new phase in Ron’s work. “I tried to incorporate varied sonic elements I love & turn them into one distinctive palette, to paint a picture that’s uniquely mine, then let the music speak for itself.” The results have Americana elements but the ingredients are as varied as his eclectic tastes. That started back when he was growing up in the Atlanta where he was exposed to a wide variety of music from Soul to Roots Rock, Van Halen to Michael Jackson, HipHop to Gospel. Ron Pope’s story is an inspiration – and it’s only just begun.
