Knowing Ronald for a couple of years now has progressively given me a broader understanding of him, primarily, as a human being. Dedication, constancy, self-improvement, are terms, among others that come to mind, describing his passion for life, and ultimately for music. I proudly manifest my involvement in Ronald’s development as a musician since his most recent, and successful musical journey. In fact, I’d dare to say that we began ideating and combining our musical ideas one night at his pad. Later that same year we decided to walk on different directions—musically. Nevertheless, that’s another story…

When I first opened my ears to—still-in-the-cradle—Ronald’s music, I quickly noticed how those terms I mentioned before reflected so fitly on his work. Transitioning from his then band Single Dot to the more robust musical and artistic structure he presents today, Ronald unknowingly—yet conscious in his deep mind, surpassed “that” even he might have ambitioned just a few months before: this “baby” has matured to become his work of art as he ambitioned it.

Ronald Rip has been invited as a guest musician for the launch of myfirstsingle.com webpage release event to be held at Karu&Y Nighclub in downtown Miami this Wednesday July 8th 09.

Seven is also a partner, executive producer and host of the My First Single The Show reality show currently in pre-production.

Being an independent artist it’s kind a difficult thing to manage at times, meaning that taking care of a lot of tasks at the same time can be really demanding mentally. This last three years of my life have been pretty hectic trying to take care of my music and my business at the same time, I believe that in a beginning of any career you find obstacles and a LOT of people not “believing” in your projects or not interested on your endeavors whatsoever…

I actually love every part of the music industry, live shows, cover designs, songwriting among other few things that help you shape your passion into a professional career…but what I love the most is to spend time in the studio, it is a magical experience! once you write your song and you get into the process of building and developing that sound from zero to 100% you live in a different world…you live in the world of music creation and nothing else matters…

I am now back to the studio to record my 4th single and really excited about it…it is coming out excellent and I will share it with you as soon as I finish mastering it.
