Artist History Ron was born and raised in Michigan. While attending Oaklnad University in Michignan, Ron decided to explore the possibilities of making songwriting a profession. After graduating from college, Ron continued co-writing, recording songs with his twin brother, Arnold. They constantly promoted their demos to recold labels and music publishers ini the Detroit area. "We found" says Ron, "that much of the music was custom-made for a select group of artists. There were too many people trying to second guess each other by writing in one particular style." In 1976, the Patton Brothers moved to Los Angeles. Shortly afterwards, they began writing songs for Holland-Dozier-Holland Productions in Hollywood. In 1980, co-founded Baywest Records, which was based in Northern California. Wrote, produced, and arranged following songs released on Baywest: *Don't Blame Me When You Lose Me (Artist: Michael Peyser) *Your Key Fits (Artist: Laurie Roberts) *Hook Me (Artist: Leroy "Ace" Miller) *Ain't Nuthin' New Under The Sun (Except My Love) (Artist: Dallas) *Has Somebody Else Been Lovin' You? (Artist: Monique) "Biggie Was Here" represents a collection of instrumental tracks with a pop/R&B, jazz-oriented hip hop, dance flavor.
