Getting to Know Hawaiian Singer-Songwriter Ron Artis II & His New Song "Chosen"

By Timothy Yap Mar 25, 2022 07:32 AM EDT

Hawaiian singer-songwriter Ron Artis II releases his debut DREAM Records single "Chosen." Produced by Scott Mearig, "Chosen" is a beautiful mix of acoustic influence with an old Motown feel. The song reminds us that our worth comes from the fact that God chose us.

Ron writes, "This song reminds me that , the pressure of being someone is irrelevant. I'm a child of God. That's what matters. He's held me in his hands through everything. God is my strength. I need to keep my ego out of the way."

Ron is a multi-instrumentalist who grew up in Hawaii among an exceptionally musical family. Full band, trio or solo, Ron has performed and collaborated with Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac), Jack Johnson, Jake Shimabukuro, Booker T Jones, Eric Krasno (Soulive, Lettuce) and G Love among others. If this wasn't a rich line - up of names, go spend a few moments reading the lyrics to Ron's songs. Each song is laced with intention, deep conviction, story, and a heart that has truly been there.

If you've been to one of Ron's shows, then you may have had the immense pleasure of seeing a daughter or two take to the stage with her father. In fact, being on the road is a family affair.

With 4 studio albums, 60+ songs, 1000s of flights, 100,000s diapers, and 15 countries, Ron and his family [full band included] continue to live by preparation and faith. Holding each day and person they meet as with immense privilege, not to be taken for granted, they look forward to meeting and delighting audiences around the world.

"Chosen" has already been sent out to radio and right now has seen early spins from WECC-FM (Brunswick, GA), KZTH-FM (Oklahoma City, OK), WWIB-FM (Eau Claire, WI), KAIM-FM (Honolulu, HI), WCLN-FM (Fayetteville, NC) and more!
