Born in Liverpool, UK’s Ronnie Mayor is among the greatest talents of present day singer songwriters. A mature singer and songwriter, Ronnie Mayor communicates the complexities of love and life in a simple, direct and soulful style. The insistent melodic and commercial pop appeal of his music provides the solid bedrock for the emotional depth of his writing.

As a pop and rock artist, Ronnie Mayor brings to mind the greatness of individualistic musical souls like Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Neil Young and Crowded House front man, Neil Finn. In the lineage of lone writers that have come before him, Ronnie Mayor has the mysterious ability to express the soul and psyche of a generation. His memorable songs move into our hearts and remain there as part of our own voice.

Ronnie Mayor’s debut CD “A Singersong A Rotator” is unforgettable and haunting, an offering of soulful love songs expressing the richest depth of feeling, interspersed with high-energy rock tunes. The album is in essence an album of love songs and a positive expression of the “human condition” across many relationships throughout one’s life. This amazing debut album features nine original songs written by Ronnie Mayor, backed by some of the UK’s finest session players. Outstanding contributions from guitarist Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Nora Jones) leading folk instrumentalist Julian Batten and backup singers Donna Gardier and Gina Foster (Sting, Michael Jackson) make this album a high-end product.
