New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Ronan is an Irish musician/songwriter who has produced a diverse repertoire of highly original, thought-provoking music which spans many musical genres and styles. The hallmarks of his music are strong melodies, a committed vocal style, skilful guitar playing and refreshingly unique (and sometimes abstract) lyrical themes which compliment and elevate the underlying song.
He is a renowned guitarist who can play a diverse range of styles. His first guitar teacher was Wexford author, playwright, musician and performer Billy Roche. He subsequently received lessons from Mexican guitar virtuosos, Rodrigo y Gabriella, whom he met after one of their early performances in Dublin.
Ronan typically plays and writes all of the music on his recordings. He prefers to perform unaccompanied with just a guitar and a microphone in a live setting.
His albums 'Minerva's Meddling' and 'The King Of Leaves' were placed on Hotpress 'Top Albums' lists for 2019 and 2020 respectively and 'The King Of Leaves' reached no 7 in the 'Hit Tracks Top 100'.
He has received global AirPlay and recognition for his music and very favourable reviews.
Ronan's interest in history and philosophy (Greek and Rome, in particular), is apparent from his lyrics. He feels that these ancient writings still hold valuable lessons for the 21st century and are as relevant today as they were 2,000 years ago. Many of his songs will conjure leaps of the imagination into unfamiliar worlds, whilst others seek to explore the thoughts and emotions of a protagonist as he or she grapples to make sense of a seemingly random universe.
