Behind the Scenes With Ron Pope on the 10th Anniversary of His First Studio Album

Ron Pope is more than just a man with braids and a beard. He's done what many aspiring musicians hope to accomplish- become a highly successful independent artist who has paved his own path. With a career that spans over a decade, Ron has made a name for himself with his seven studio albums and a soon to be re-released vinyl version of his first record, Daylight.

Part of why Ron has become so successful is because he's pursued his music career believing there is no "Plan B." He's put blood, sweat and tears into his art, which is something he hopes each of his fans can take and turn into their own story. Ron never intended to become a solo artist, but the journey from band front man to "one man show with a band" has been a positive twist of fate for him. Past mistakes that guided many of the themes in his earlier songs have now given him an appreciation of the life he lives and the people he shares it with.

To celebrate his 10+ year career, he's releasing Daylight on vinyl and sharing the studio performance video of one of his most popular songs, "A Drop in the Ocean." The acoustic version of the song is also available as a single. Check out the video below, along with the interview where Ron talks more about the story behind the song and his upcoming solo acoustic tour.
