He's also a true artist. Dedicated to his craft, his willingness to push the creative envelope has led to his latest musical offering, Kattitude , scheduled for release, September 27th., 2024. By combining a plethora of musical genres; Funk, Pop, Rock-n-Roll, New Wave, R-n-B, etc. Ronkat created the perfect musical storm with the EP.
Weaving a rich sonic tapestry Kattitude showcases Ronkat's mastery of multiple talents, he sings, plays numerous instruments on the EP as well as handling producer and songwriter credits. Truly inspired and innovative, RonKat refuses to be painted into a box or confined to any preconceived notions based on his earlier work.
Flexing his understanding and appreciation of different decades across each track the listener is transported through a wormhole of eras. The title track "Kattitude" opens things up with an extra thick vibe of funkiness and coolness. Wrapped in layers of heavy guitar, full of clever lyrics weaved into a self-explanatory, bop RonKat explains exactly what it takes to exude that certain Kattitude. Each track touches lightly on a familiar sound from the late 80s and 90s boosting it with the Futuristic feel of the 22nd. Century. "Hold The Good Times" stands out as the perfect get the party started cut while presenting like the lead song from an 80s soundtrack! Crisp and uplifting RonKat steers the ship away from the looseness heard in his earlier releases this year. Smoothly moving into the remaining songs on the EP, RonKat pushes the envelope to deliver heavy doses of the 90s into the present with Afrofuturistic Nu-Wave friendly jams. "Love Safe" another selection broke into Billboard's Top 20 AC charts along with "Love Me For Today," with Greg Boyer on trombone (who has also played with Prince and P-Funk). "I Don't Care" is another fast tempo tale of love. The extreme opposite of a sappy, unrequited ballad, these tracks are the audio versions of Meet-Cute on caffeine. Rounding things out, "Ride" (with Garrett 'Starchild' Jr. Shider on vocals, he's also singing on "Kattitude" and is the lead singer/guitarist in P Funk ) let's RonKat show off his guitar skills while infusing a different energy into the EP. The only other musician appearing on Kattitude (on the Bonus track, "Transmission") is the iconic Funkmaster himself, George Clinton and a cameo by RonKat's daughter, Nya Spearman!
