Rony Launches Record Label, Signs RichDolla503

Ronaldo Rodriguez, known professionally as Rony, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Portland, Oregon. Rony was born on September 6, 1999, in Mission Viejo, California.

But, was unable to walk due to poor grades. He was devastated his mom couldn't see him walk across the stage being the first graduate in the family.

Songwriting is also one of the many skills I always had growing up. Although I never knew it, I always enjoyed writing stories. And, I do believe it helps me write music much quicker. For me, it’s an art form, a way to express yourself and show the world your thoughts. There’s a lot that goes into bringing a song together. I like to think of it as writing a very short book. The songwriting, recording, mixing, mastering, etc. I enjoy every step of the process, and don't see it as work.
