Ron Kenoly began singing in a Baptist church in his hometown, Coffeyville, KS, and after spending time working in the Air Force and raising a family, he became a successful charting singer in the early '70s in Los Angeles, but recommitted his life to being a Christian in 1975. Kenoly then received his master's degree in music at the College of Alameda in California, and became a voice teacher.

His first album, Jesus Is Alive, was followed by the fastest-selling praise & worship album ever, Lift Him Up. Both that album and the next, God Is Able, were nominated for Dove awards. Kenoly has also released Sing out with One Voice, and in 1995 passed the one-million mark in total sales. In 1996, he released Welcome Home, his major label debut; Majesty followed two years later, and in 1999 Kenoly returned with We Offer Praises.
