My name is Ron Scalzo.
In October of 2012, my life was turned upside down by Superstorm Sandy. I lost pretty much everything. Over the next two years, I relocated six different times. Bald Freak Music, the independent record label I ran out of my basement, my home office and studio – drowned.
My keyboards, my turntables, my microphones, my Beatles albums. Every CD, LP and cassette tape I owned. Every book I wrote a song lyric in. Every demo tape I ever made. All gone.
It was as if my entire musical history had washed away.
What survived were my Yamaha P22 upright piano, my soul, and a whole lot of songs. Songs about rejection, recovery, and rebirth. Songs about heartache, heartbreak, and closure. Y’know….Songs.
In 2014, I traveled to Seattle and recorded my first solo album, The Last Q*Ball Album. In 2015, I traveled to Tucson and recorded my first digital EP, You Deserve The Best. In 2017, I traveled to Berlin and recorded my second solo album, I Gotta Rock.
I’m playing live again, I’m more involved in music now than I ever was. I’m no longer a victim, I’m an artist again. I could say I’ve come all the way back, but that wouldn’t be true. I’ve grown since those muddy, Sandy days.
And I am grateful.
