Ronnie King grew up in Palm Springs, California, a highly disciplined student of classical and jazz piano who later studied Theory at Berkeley. In the early 90’s he began touring with bands such as El Debarge and Timmy T who had a hit during the Gulf War called, “One More Try.” King’s work soon caught the eye of Jerry Heller, manager the legendary gangsta rap group NWA, whose members included hip hop icons Ice Cube, and Dr. Dre, the latter would go on to discover and produce Eminem. Known for his multi-platinum and diamond certified collaboration with the late Tupac Shakur on tracks such as “Better Dayz” along with the pioneer producer, Johnny J., King laid the groundwork for the rise of one of hip hop music’s greatest stars as well as establishing a sound that was uniquely his own. His analog Moog keyboard and Hammond organ led him to become one of the most bootlegged, sampled and copied producers in this generation of hip hop and popular music. Having established himself in the world of hip hop, King also fell back on his passion for punk music. Showing his versatility, King has toured with bands such as The Offspring and his keyboards are featured in their single “Hit That” King co-founded the LA punk supergroup The Joykiller comprised by former members of the pioneer punk band TSOL..
