Ron Pope

Nashville-based, independent artist, Ron Pope, has stood at a crossroads where so many musicians find themselves — at the intersection of record label and independence. In an ever-evolving industry filled with rejection and compromise, he has plotted a new course for his music to reach loyal listeners, taking the industry-road-less-traveled in exchange for the ultimate payback, a league of devoted fans the world over.

Pope has made a name for himself in the music industry over the years as one of the top grossing independent acts on the scene today. He has sold over 2 million singles to date, has 600 million spins on Pandora, and his songs have been streamed over 200 million times. In 2015 he co-founded the indie label, Brooklyn Basement Records.
