RONNO

The foundation of RONNO's remarkable achievement as an internationally renowned children's singer-songwriter, performer, and educator is his ability to unite his strong musical background with his teacher training - and to have lots of fun doing it!

Music has always played an integral role in RONNO's life. He spent most of his teens and twenties performing in notable pop/rock bands, along the way co-writing the hit song, "Sitting on a Poor Man's Throne" (as a member of the pop/rock group Copperpenny), and two "new country" hits for Beverley Mahood.

RONNO (Ron Hiller) earned his B.A. at the University of Waterloo and his B.Ed. at the University of Western Ontario. Upon graduating, he was inspired to combine his passions for music and education. He immediately launched his new career as a children's performer, songwriter, and educator. In the ensuing years, RONNO has performed all over the U.S.A. and Canada, as well as much of Southeast Asia. He is proud to be a KIMBO Educational (based in Long Branch, NJ) recording artist and has released 10 award-winning CDs for them to date.
