INTERVIEW WITH RONNY O

Ronny O Let's start off with the introduction, who is Ronny O?

Ronny O is a character with characterizm. Loyal n fresh to death. Even when I die my suite will be ahead of its time.

When did you first decide to pursue a career in music?

I think I was 15, in 321 Jarvis (homeless home in Toronto) and I heard a beat that I was feeling hard. My mom came to me and said "what's wrong," because my face was all mashed up and angry cuz the beat was grimey. The first thing that came out of my mouth was "I wanna write this" and she was like "then sit down and do it.". Since then I've been writing.

From where do you draw the inspiration to do what you do?

My mom. For everything she's gone through by herself and with us we deserve more than this.

Who would you say are your biggest influences, musically?

My biggest influences really Jadakiss, Stack Bundles, Pac and DMX.

What do you have in the works right now?

I mean I got an album that no one's heard before. Different music but the swag is still there. That's the problem with these cats they go different with no characterizm and I'm always looking like I'm in a casket fresh to death. But I got Konvict Music on the album. I got Micheal Blackson on the album. Producers I got Watts produce for Redman, Foxy Brown. He did Joe Budden's single Jingling Baby.
I got big time canadian producers Neo, Tempus and Noxx. E&I Production. Crazy.

Where do you see yourself in the next 5-10 years?

5-10? I'ma be either in my condo contemplating Gucci or Prada for the Grammys [laughs] or I'ma be in that same condo trying to sell it. Either way I'ma make money.

Where can people check for your music?

My new myspace should be up by the time I get back from Atlanta on [the 26th] at myspace.com/ronnyOrleans. For now my fanpage is myspace.com/ronnyomusic.

Anything else you'd like to add?
