Краткая биография
Terry Ronald (London, United Kingdom) is a songwriter and producer from London who has worked with a variety of different singers and bands.
Ronald started out as lead singer with band "Gun Shy" who released on single "Just To Be Your Secret", which was Peter Powells record of the week on Radio One. He then became a solo artist and signed to MCA Records during the early 1990s. He moved on to songwriting and production. Together with Ian Masterson, he founded the production company Thriller Jill. Ronald's diverse range of work includes songwriting and production for Lulu, Sheena Easton, Kim Wilde, Atomic Kitten, Girls Aloud, Geri Halliwell, Kylie Minogue and most extensively Dannii Minogue.
In the early 1990s Ronald released an album, a live EP and four singles, none of which charted. He joined Robert Palmer and Hall and Oates on a European tour in 1990 in order to promote his solo material. After each of the performances, Studio Sessions, a mini 10" album containing live studio recordings from Roma and two cover songs was distribued for free. During his time with MCA he became good friends with Australian pop diva Dannii Minogue and it was the start of over a decade of friendship.
Upon departing with his record label MCA in 1992, Ronald embarked upon a successful career in production and songwriting. Working with a diverse range of artists demonstrated his production and songwriting abilities.
