Today we’d like to introduce you to Ron Summers.
Hi Ron, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I started my music journey at a young age. My parents brought me up in a strong Pentecostal church. I couldn’t listen to worldly music (secular, R&B) lol. So my 1st love has always been gospel music. I grew up listening to church music so my inspirations were artists such as Commissioned, The Winans, Ricky Dillard & NewG, O’landa Draper, Lisa Page Witness, and the late Thomas Whitfield just to name a few. This artist helped shape me into who I am today as an artist.
I started working as a promoter for Tyscot Records and this opened the door to my 1st professional recording entitled “Ron Summers and NuRev”. Over time I took a break and focused on local ministry. I currently serve as the minister of music at a wonderful church here in Baltimore City (Carter Memorial Church). During this time of serving my local church, I have written for many national recording artists and shared the stage with gospel music giants such as The Clark Sisters, Shirley Caesar, Kim Burrell, Tye Tribett, and Kirk Franklyn just to name a few.
During the shutdown of covid, I was able to reset and get back into the studio and record my new ep “God Can” featuring Kim Burrell and Tasha Page Lock-hart. This ep has touched the lives of many across this nation and abroad. My intent has always been to write music that speaks to every person and leads them to God!!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
This has not been a smooth ride. I’ve learned in my journey sometimes God will give you a snapshot of the end but doesn’t give you the details of the journey. Like many of you, I have had my share of disappointment wondering if I would ever get a breakthrough in my musical journey.
Nobody told me the number of sacrifices, sleepless nights, money, time away from family, people taking advantage of my gift, or even my insecurities that I have struggled with. At the end of the day, It has been worth the struggle to see the lives that have been changed because of the gift that God has given me.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
