A native of Los Angeles, Ronn was originally attracted to the rock & roll music field, where beginning at the age of eleven years old, he started learning first the drums, then guitar and electric bass. Even before he was old enough to legally be in clubs and bars, he was singing and playing bass guitar in bands he formed to entertain in hundreds of seedy establishments thoughout the city.

In 1976, Ronn joined creative forces with three fellow musicians to form the musical group "Player." In a spider and cockroach-infested garage in the Hollywood hills, they wrote and rehearsed their music that would soon attract the attention of music impressario Robert Stigwood, who signed them to his RSO Records where they produced the albums "Player" and "Danger Zone." Later, under the Casablanca Records label, they produced the album "Room With A View." Tours followed the release of these albums with such groups as Gino Vanelli, Boz Scaggs, Eric Clapton, Heart and The Little River Band, as well as their own headlining concerts. In the first three weeks of 1978, their single "Baby Come Back" occupied the #1 position on the national pop charts and "Player" was voted to Billboard's honor roll of best new singles artist of 1978.

Ronn has presently teamed up with another original member of "Player," Peter Beckett, and the two have produced their fifth CD as "Player" entitled "Lost in Reality," through River North Records or available from the web site PlayerTheBand.com. Peter and Ronn are presently working on their sixth CD. A compilation "Best of Player" is also newly available through the web site.

Ronn lives in Hollywood, California with his wife, actress/writer Shari Shattuck and their two daughters.
