New Jersey singer and songwriter Ronii is currently putting the finishing touches on his new album Righteous Planet. The album is slated to be released on September 9, 2008 by 130 West Records, the record single will be also released for free online for a limited time. Ronii's vision is to bring a new perspective to the music.

He has performed at music festivals in New England, on jazz-funk records in Philadelphia, and most recently worked with a former member of the multi platinum group Blackstreet. All of these moments cohere together in his intelligent, eclectic, and uniquely crafted music. He received an informal education in music from hanging around at Sigma Sound Studios (now defunct) in Philadelphia with the major and local artists that recorded there.

In 2004, Ronii released Lifted on his own 130 West Music label. This album of 10 original songs, recorded as a debut to an already successful producer, gained more success than expected due to a very limited promotion effort. Relentless funk, swinging bpm's and uplifting lyricism are just a few of the moods conjured in this work, which has been hailed by critics as "unique" and "enormously underrated."

Ronii is also dedicated to charitable causes, mainly contributing to organizations that help eradicate poverty and that help find medications for diseases.
