Ronnie loves a multitude of music genres such as R&B, soul, jazz, rock, fusion, and especially gospel. Artist such as Commissioned, Musiq Soulchild, The Clark Sisters, Lalah Hathaway, Chick Corea, and Journey have played huge roles in his creativity.
The year 2015 marked a huge win for Ronnie. His collaborative vision, entitled BESPEAL LOVE reached #1 on the UK SOUL CHARTS – November 2015. The album also received artist of the year (editor’s choice) from the highly recognized SOULTRACKS.com
His 2018 debut solo album, a.k.a.BESPEAK, was voted 2018’s ALBUM OF THE YEAR by Groundbreakers.com. This album was blessed to receive several awards from the indie radio community, such as: #1 Album of 2018 – Mi-Soul Connoisseurs, #1 on the UK SOULCHARTS – March 2018, #8 on the UK SOULCHART Top 100 for 2018 and many more! Ronnies second collaborative (BESPEAK EMPOWER – 2021) features some of the Northwest most talented singers/songwriters, and musicians. The mission was the same… collaboration… but this time he featured an eclectic mix of soul, funk, rnB, & Gospel… This is a true reflection of the NW!!
