Abe Olman Scholarship, 2019

Ro Ransom is a 26-year-old rapper/songwriter/producer from Harlem, New York. He's most known for his ambitious anthem See Me Fall, touting 75 Million + streams.

With a dark, psychological, melodic take on New York City music, there's a haunting thru-line in his four mixtapes up to this point.

As a writer, Ro has worked with Khalid, Kiiara, Nic Nac, Leven Kali, Stefan James and others and as a touring act he's gone country wide with Dua Lipa and Witt Lowry. As a writer, Ro's first placement of note was with Khalid -- co-writing "Let's Go" from his debut album American Teen, which is now double platinum.

He works closely with "Gold" pop newcomer & Linkin Park collaborator Kiiara and is slated to be on her upcoming project. Most recently, Ro wrote Republic's Stefan James' debut single "God Damn." Other highlights as a songwriter include Nic Nac, Phoebe Ryan, Felix Snow, Leven Kali, and others.
