Biography

Having started out as a solo artist signed to MCA Records during the early 1990s, Terry Ronald moved on to songwriting and production and together with Ian Masterson founded production company Thriller Jill.

Ronald's diverse range of work includes songwriting and production for Lulu, Sheena Easton, Kim Wilde, Atomic Kitten, Girls Aloud, Geri Halliwell, Kylie Minogue and most extensively Dannii Minogue.

Solo career

In the early 1990s Ronald achieved chart success with a pop career releasing an album and four singles.
He joined Robert Palmer and Hall and Oates on a European tour in 1990 in order to promote his solo material. After each of the performances, ''Studio Sessions'', a mini 10" album containing live studio recordings from Roma and two cover songs was distribued for free. During his time with MCA he became good friends with Australian pop diva Dannii Minogue and it was the start of over a decade of friendship.

A new career

Upon departing with his record label MCA in 1992, Ronald embarked upon a successful career in production and songwriting. Working with a diverse range of artists demonstrated his production and songwriting abilities.
