“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven into the soul.” Reared in the city of brotherly love, Ron “The Singer” Draper has become known for creating some of the most mind gripping and soul compelling melodies. His ability to craft ear-caressing tunes has created a universal sound that speaks to people holistically. Yet, its Ron’s devotion to remaining impactful as a musician, that drives the singer to want to re-introduce music with a message.<0> “I’m a singer,” said Ron. “I artistically express life through the gift of song.” Whether it is through Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, Classical or Gospel, Ron is guaranteed to synthesize a performance that makes you emotionally engaged and mentally stimulated. “I sing life-music. Music that enlightens and opens your eyes; music that has something to say and can change the mind for the better. “ Under the tutelage and mentor-ship of some of Philadelphia’s best, such as Barry & Dayna DeVine, Wendell Miller, James Lewis, Tameka Furbee, Robert Webb and Stanley McNis, Ron is no rookie to the industry. In fact, he has been molding his craft since the age of ten. Like most, Ron recognized his gift while standing in a church pulpit, strapped in a choir robe. Eventually he stepped out among the ranks and a gift was cultivated. After studying music at William Penn High School, and at Settlement Music School, the largest community school of the arts in the United States, Ron transitioned from the student…to the singer. Now, the 25-year-old has been noted as Philadelphia’s “best kept secret.”
