Artist History Ron Irizarry is living his dream. As Fuman Skeeto Production's debut artist, he has performed for over a million people in cities across North America within the last year alone. But his road to success began long before. Ron's musical roots extend well into his childhood. Born to artistic parents, he was involved in orchestra, band, and choir throughout his public school and college education. After three years as a touring guitarist with several national acts, Ron quit touring to write and record his own material. In 1999, Ron joined *NSYNC's Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now tour as a second stage act. Captivating sold-out crowds with smooth vocals and a unique acoustic pop-rock sound, he was quickly moved to the main stage. Ron opened before sold-out crowds again in 2000 on the band's No String's Attached tour. Between tours, he spent time writing and preparing to record his self-titled debut EP. To record his first album, Ron stretched the limits of his musical knowledge and creativity. Not only did he write and perform all the songs, he co-produced the album, programmed drums, played several instruments, and sang background vocals. Of the experience, he says, "I love going to the studio and just being creative." To learn more about Ron visit his home page at www.ronmusic.com.
