ABOUT HAPPYRON
HappyRon’s music has long touched the hearts of people.
At the age of 48 he finally dealt with lifelong disabilities that have prevented him from fully pursuing music
and is excited to finally bring his music to the world.
Firstly he is on the autistic spectrum that has always made communication difficult and music has helped
him heal and move forward in life.
Secondly, he was born without a left hip socket which brought tension and pain throughout his body. After
having surgery he found that was able to create music much easier and has become obsessed with teaching
people that anyone can make music.
He is well known for heart felt ballads like “The Wider View” and “You Are Enough” as well as fun sing
alongs like “Terribly Happy”
He is now an inspirational speaker with music sharing the value of positive thought and action to businesses
and schools.

HAPPYRON BIO

until he was thirty and didn’t get “seriously” into music until he was forty. He was played more than 2700

songs. To celebrate his 44rth birthday he released his first real album, backed by no less than twenty-two
people, including some of the best musicians and singers in San Diego. Also featured is Paul Litteral on

Produced by local music guru Sven-Erik Seaholm. The critically acclaimed album was nominated for a San
Diego Music Award and was described by The San Diego Troubadour as “Masterpiece… anyone who listens
will be amazed at the depth of Happy Ron Hill’s songwriting.”
HappyRon was born without a socket in his left hip and that contributed to music being very difficult for
him. After having surgery his life and his music changed. He is now in what he calls “HappyRon finally
unleashed” mode and is finally able to create his music in full force. HappyRon has played with a thousand
musicians, his current band is The Good Hearted People, featuring Stand Up Bass Player Paul Tillery and
Andy Gallagher from Trains Across The Sea on keys and Rob Garbo from Sweettooth on drums.
