Artist History The Ronley is quite a peculiar creature. Because of the unusual spelling and pronunciation of the Ronley, many have been surprised to find that the Ronley is not a burly man named "wrong" but is in fact a member of the tribe of singer/songwriters. Ronley's music is a "syncratic" mish mash of styles crossing: Roots, Jazz, Blues, Pop, and Folk. Ronley's influences include those of Cassandra Wilson, Ricky Lee Jones, Tom Waits, and Peter Gabriel. "Her music is intelligent, groovy and jammed with soul...and that combined with her unique and impeccable vocal stylings and an incredibly honest presence, makes her an absolute pleasure to hear and watch". Suzanne de Bussac - Tranzister Records "Versatile to say the least. One minute she sounds like the old man in a run down tavern and the next minute like a sweet pixie." Karen Kosowski - Estrogen Music.com After a two year musical relationship that placed Ronley's voice in front of Hamilton Ontario band Hummingfish/Trout 22, playing Edgefest '97, featured in Promag Magazine, performing in festivals and venues across Canada, the group disbanded in 1999. In 2000, Ronley travels throughout the Middle East, performing on the streets as a busker, and in small restaurants and cafes. After new cultural influences, and oodles of new songs, Ronley moves back to Toronto, Canada to focus on her solo musical career. She has performed live and been interviewed on CKLN, CFRU, and other college radio stations across North America.. Ronley has been showcased on Estrogen Music.com.
