Artist Name:
Ro
Hometown:
Silver Spring, MD
Formed:
1998
Genre:
R & B / Soul
Bio:
Born Rodell Denard Jones, Ro was raised in the
Greater Washington Area and the suburbs of
Maryland. Growing up listening to “Old School” greats
like Al Green, Luther Vandross, and Rick James, Ro
grew to fall in love with music. During years of going
through the foster care system, Ro became
accustomed to playing various instruments such as
the bass guitar, drums, and his favorites, the piano
and keyboard.
In high school, Ro discovered his immense singing
abilities and used them to his advantage at various
talent shows during the school years. Soon Ro started
favoring the music of more recent artists like Boyz II
Men, Dru Hill, En Vogue, N2U, Dave Hollister, and Cee-
lo Green. Ro has since then created a passion to
pursue a music career to add to the collection of
“good” music that exists in the world.
With refreshingly original lyrics, rolling melody and
beats using real instruments rather than looped
tracks, and a powerful, smooth, soulful voice, Ro is
poised to make his mark on the industry and create a
new reality in music, not just R&B.
Influences:
Normally Alonce Music Agency lists bands and artists
here, but we want to actually offer Ro's words of his
inspiration:
"I have many artists that have inspired me. I tend to
gravitate to artists that make me feel a certain way
towards the melody. I want the artist to take me on a
journey with their voice and music. You don't have to
be a great singer, but your delivery must be intact.
Dave Hollister is the truth. Wanya Morris from Boyz II
Men is phenomenal. (Boyz II Men period is the
reasons I started singing). Sisqo is ridiculous. Micheal
Jackson is the inertia. Even some female artists have
inspired me. Chante Moore, who's voice is angelic. En
Vogue, and finally I love Mariah Carey. She is the
melody to everyone's soul."
