He's also become a very popular session guitarist and has recorded guitar parts for several major recording artists. With all of this exposure, Ronny regularly gets airplay and sells cds all over the world, which has lead to 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, 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.
