Ronny North

Ronny North plays his own signature brand of instrumental guitar rock and is fast becoming a southern California guitar hero. He won the Best Male Guitarist Award at the 2006 All Access Magazine Music Awards and has appeared in and has been featured in several national and international music publications such as Guitar Player Magazine, Young Guitar Magazine (Japan), MMR Magazine, Performer Magazine, Player Magazine (Japan), Music Connection Magazine, Flash Magazine from Italy, Modern Guitar Magazine, Muen Magazine, Premier Guitar Magazine, Guitar World Magazine, All Access Magazine, Verde Valley Independent, and Fireworks Magazine from Europe. (He is also featured on the Fireworks compilation CD that comes with the magazine.) In April 2007, he was featured in Guitar Player Magazine where GP magazine head editor Michael Molenda said some very complimentary things about Ronny's playing. Ronny was honored with his own Ronny North Day at his old high school Norwalk High in Norwalk, California on April 7th, 2009. On top of all that, Fox 11 TV News covered the event and featured Ronny and the kids live on TV. Ronny was also honored by his sponsor Morley Pedals to be the "Morley Pedals Artist of the Month for April 2009". Ronny has been a fixture at NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) shows for over a decade. One of Ronny’s NAMM highlights was when guitar great Gary Hoey joined Ronny and his band on the main NAMM stage at the 2010 Winter NAMM show. He regularly plays events for Nascar and most recently played the Nascar’s Stater Bros 300 Race in Feb 2010. Ronny’s new guitar instrumental CD “Light” was released in March 2010 and is currently available at Best Buy stores. In the spring of 2010, Ronny did a short Japanese Tour and had a blast playing to his Japanese fans. He then returned to the states and performed at the LA Marathon and at the 2010 Long Beach Grand Prix to thousands of fans. It’s no surprise that the industry has taken notice/ Ronny’s regularly featured in ad campaigns and catalogs for his various sponsors. His music has been used for MTV's “Real World" reality TV program as well as on compilations for his various sponsors and charities. Ronny is also a very popular clinician. He regularly does clinics and performs at trade shows throughout America. It’s not surprising that he is also regularly sought out from music equipment manufacturers for his input on the development of new products. Ronny has also become a very popular session guitarist and has played on tracks for several major recording artists. With all of this exposure, Ronny regularly gets airplay and sells his music all over the world, which has lead to lots of exposure and press including various live appearances on several radio shows, including KNAC.com (where he world premiered his brand new single “Tomorrow is Burning” live in their studios on October 25th, 2009), The Billy Moses Radio Show, VM Underground Radio, The Saturday Night Free For All Radio Show, Felix Stowe Radio (UK), The Best of Hair Radio, Hard Rocking Nights Radio Show, Yogi World Radio Show, Maximum Threshold Radio, and Radio Rock Café in Canada, just to name a few. He was also a guest star on the new TV reality show “All Worked Up” that airs on the Tru TV Network. Ronny has also taped a few video show appearances for Flash Rock Live, The Brenda Carey Show (for which he also wrote the show’s theme song), The Billy Moses Show on Time Warner Cable, and the Hot House New Music Tuesdays show. On top of all that, Ronny has been a celebrity judge for many guitar competitions including the 2010 Steve Vai Best in Shred event held by Sam Ash Music in the winter of 2010. He also currently writes music columns for Guitar International Magazine (Psyko Guitar) and Insane Guitar Magazines. Ronny is a firm believer in using his music to help others. He has performed at the Special Olympics Summer Games for the last ten consecutive years and most recently played the event again in July 2010. He has also played events for the Troops and Vets, Toys for Tots, Covenant House, Musicians in Need, Save Lives Animals in Need, the Norwalk Unified School District, the Cancer Society, Tsunami Relief and the Haiti Quake victims (He played the Artists for Haiti Concert on Feb 27th, 2010).
