I'm Ron Patton, also known as “Ropatt” — a Michigan-born composer, songwriter, and recording artist with a lifelong passion for pop, R&B, smooth jazz, and instrumental music. With a career spanning decades, I've written for the legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland catalog, co-founded Baywest Records, and had my music featured on Oxygen and Animal Planet. My 2003 album 'Biggie Was Here' introduced the world to a sound that blends soulful storytelling with sophisticated musicianship. I’m also an author of several books, including “Fables & Proverbs: Songwriting Secret Weapons for Lyric Writing and “Alternate Reels: Recasting Iconic Movie Roles.”
