Ronald Simone 
We moved from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock in 1962, Dad was a railway man and moved to Kilmarnock for a better job in the railway. In the black & white pic I was about 8-9 years old and was taken when we lived in Edinburgh. The pic with me and my brothers is much later and I’m probably about 19–20 in this pic.
It took me a few years to settle in Kilmarnock, I always had problems with pupils, because they thought I spoke with a posh accent, and I suppose compared to Kilmarnock it must have sounded posh to them. The primary and secondary school were only separated by a single corridor.
Secondary school only got worse. Eventually I did the exam called the Eleven-plus and, this was one of the last of this type of exam, before they introduced the comprehensive system which then became the standard for secondary schools across the UK. The results for the Eleven-plus fell into three categories. Excellent Good Fail. I failed because all the other students were all taught the same Information, It was like moving the goal post’s before you got started. The comprehensive system had another year before it arrived in Scotland. Discover more at (expired link)
The Flower Of Blantyre is from my back catalogue. I recorded the album with my mate Colin Douglas, he's a folk singer and was comfortable with that, It did well in Scotland & Canada. I've included it because it just gives you a little flavour of where I'm from in the UK; Bonnie Scotland.

How Are You Today.
Is a fun play on one of my song titles, and I thought I would give you a little insight into this song.
My wife Karen died in 2012 from cancer, obviously I miss her very much, she was only 45 years old. The song is about how I reacted after she died (this sounds depressing) but you must trust me I have very fond memories off her. What I found myself doing is talking to her picture on the table, this sounds strange, but writing the song helped me to cope with the realization that she just wasn't there anymore. The song is me talking to myself, rationalizing, and saying get real etc.
This song along with 3 others are currently being considered for a TV Network and 2 Movies. I hope you will take a little time to listen the new uploads on number one music. Please stay in touch and your support is very important . Music is from the heart, and there is a little bit for of all of us in a song. Keep singing! Ronald

About Ronald Simone
Ronald Simone | Win Win Win Release Date September 2nd 2016
Sealed and Signed
This project, started in 2013, with my first EP “Watching The Stars” It all began when I included Sinatra songs in my live set, and was overwhelmed with the audience response, although I know I don‘t sound anything like him, I just couldn’t resist writing some songs in that style. David Write Said, “Wow Ronald! Great Music and Content. I enjoyed the vocal quality also. Keep up the great work. Please send your bio and song to our music staff to proceed.” Song; “My Dear Friend” Write Music Group

This encouragement gave me the confidence to continue, so I hired a new arranger and a new producer who were willing to help me experiment with the sound. In the second EP “Swing Sensation” you can hear that start to happen, but as the lyric states at the end of verse two of “Win Win Win” This race is sealed and signed.

“Win Win Win” is my third EP and I’m certain that we now have the musical signature that is Ronald Simone, which is epitomised in the title track. The lush backing vocals blended with a jazz pop vibe make listeners sit up and take notice and the excitement is tangible. I signed my first contract with Joey Welz of Canadian American Records in 2013 and have since had interest from several sync licensing companies, but it’s this EP that’s ready for radio. The Next EP Coming Soon is “Time”
