During the Thunderpuss days, Ron’s credits include working with Barry Harris, Madonna, Sonique, Pepper Mashay, Jody Den Broeder, Chris Cox, and Happy Clappers. One of his most popular projects was 2003's Byron Stingily vs. Widelife "I Don't Want You To Turn Me", the Bootleg Mash-up he did along with Barry Harris...a classic still played in clubs today! ____________________________________________________________ Post-Thunderpuss, Ron was also invited by Barry Harris to work on 2 projects for the then television and cultural phenomenon QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY. "All Things" by Widelife and "Everybody Wants You To Emerge" by Fischerspooner and Billy Squier were both featured tracks on the top selling Queer Eye Soundtrack. Ron has also released several highly successful mix compilation albums. May 2000 marked the release of his first compilation titled "CELEBRATE".
