HOOKS
Nearly four decades across recording, songwriting, arranging, production, publishing, film, label ownership and artist development. From CBS and The Ghost Brothers with his brother Chris, through Bell Biv DeVoe’s Poison era, 1991 negotiations involving Quincy Jones and Benny Medina, a Sony chapter, Kathy Sledge, film credits and independent ownership—Roney’s history is the operating system behind RoneStone.
