Ron Kingston (born & raised in Melbourne, Australia), is a singer, songwriter, producer and artist. Kingston's apparent passion for music was noticed during his high school years. With scraps of paper and a dusty old tape deck he wrote and recorded original songs that would lead him to an intriguing melancholy debut album titled 'Illustrated' not too long after he graduated. His formidable years kept him busy in and out of bands with an eye and target set firmly on the international arena. With a burning desire to make great albums and trot the globe Kingston moved to New York and played with some bands at some of Manhattan's finest venues.
After several years of truly finding and his own unique voice and personal dismay at the limited music industry opportunities in Australia he got his big break performing in over 15 countries including Japan, Korea, Indonesia, India, Hong Kong which led him to produce a second album with a more urban soulful feel.
Ron Kingston performed in the Gulf for US, British and Australian soldiers serving in neighbouring Iraq and Kuwait. During that time he was the only Australian performer in Bahrain. Drawing influences in his song writing wherever his travels, Kingston continues to write and perform in some fascinating countries around the world.
Ron Kingston's live album unfolded when he performed in Hong Kong in late 2009 with a cellist and percussionist. The fusion of the 3 musicians inspired Ron to record his live show and release a live album. His album release entitled "Unplugged in Hong Kong" is available exclusively through Itunes & Amazon.
In 2011 Kingston met with American R&B recording artist Keith Martin and began working on a collection of new songs for release. Their first collaboration is a duet with Mia called "My Friend".
