We recently connected with Ronnie Wylder and have shared our conversation below.

Ronnie Wylder, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Looking back, do you think you started your business at the right time? Do you wish you had started sooner or later

There are certain aspects of my career I wish I had jumped on way sooner. I was always focused on the branding and visuals rather than learning to produce my own music, play piano/guitar. I solely focused on my vocal skills, which has definitely paid off, but I do wish I had given my focus to other sides of music as well.

I started singing in 2016 after my first of five spinal surgeries. I began getting professional gigs in 2019. In 2023 I was a full-time musician.

During that time frame I moved out of my parents house, worked 2 jobs, got married, and ran a band in the middle of it all.

Sometimes, I regret not doing things sooner, or wish I had done them differently. Through it all I’ve learned to accept that it is all a part of the journey. We are meant to be exactly where we are in this moment, all we can do is learn going forward, and know that it is never too late to try something new.

Ronnie Wylder, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Ronnie Wylder, I am a self-built independent artist. My life goal is to inspire action in others. To get them to work towards there dreams and overcome their fears.

When I started singing, I was not a natural talent. I was kicked out of choir at 7, and didn’t start singing again till I was 15.

I worked day and night, practicing every single day. I developed my craft to a point where I was able to start getting professional gigs and build my career.

I listen to my old recordings on occasion, and they are pretty bad. But it makes me so proud of how far I have come.

With dedication and discipline, you can do anything.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

I huge part of developing my skills vocally involved unlearning all of the ad-libs and over stylization I taught myself. The right mentor will show you that less is more. I was so lucky to have Jessica Marciel and Bucky Heard as my first vocal coaches, they gave me the foundation of my skills.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

In the music world, Damian Keyes has changed my whole perspective on marketing and mindset. While he has an incredible online community and courses, his free content on YouTube has been so impactful on my career.
