RON DASH

Ronald Austin Samuels, otherwise known as Ron Dash (@samuelsrepublic) is a American alternative rap/pop/dace recording artist, and photographer.  Ron Dash's music is new, fresh, different, old, rap, pop, indie, dance, and boom. Every track has a supermodel hanging from its arm while boarding private helicopters transporting the party from rooftop to rooftop. Ron Dash’s tunes inspire celebration, good energy jams you can put on at any time of the day and get lost in. His melodies embody good company, great experiences, strong personalities and stronger drinks.  The songs are super stylized and evoke a sense of cool and fun, but still leave the listener wanting more.

When Ron isn’t in the studio mixing jams, he is photographing awesome people and things. He first started recording with Danny Newport and Kapano at 5th Quarter Productions in 2011. He was featured on the Booster Club mixtape with such songs as "Dash With Me", "Famous", and "Ole Voila".  He also made an appearance on tune Cardigan with Danny Newport and DRE.

He is currently working with several producers in the Philadelphia Area, and on an EP named Disco Eclipse.  The sound is very different from the typical sound coming out the city.  There is a very heavy dance theme with sounds from the 80s and 90s, but with clever and catchy lyrics that will have you singing around and humping anything around you for hours.  Influences stem from growing up listening to all Gangster Rap, all the time, and a couple oldie tracks; but mainly rap music such as Jay-Z, Cam'ron,  Three 6 Mafia, Young Jeezy, and Dipset.
