ABOUT RON

Southern California-based songwriter Ron Ovadia has been creating songs with meaning for years. He believes that music has a powerful purpose and can help connect people to a greater cause and to each other. His other “anthems of hope” include:
-
"One Step at a Time" - part of a song score (Grant/Ovadia) for the internationally-touring "Cinderella on Ice"
-
"Tomorrow’s Child" - the featured song in EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth for 20 years
-
"Voices of Democracy" (Levine/Ovadia) - honoring the Green Movement in Iran (2009)
-
"Make America Whole Again" - about restoring unity to our divided country
-
"No Place For Hate" - an antidote to the rising tide of hate and disharmony that is so pervasive
His predilection toward anthem-like songs took a literal turn when he co-authored the English translation of the Swiss National Anthem (2020).
Besides focusing on aspirational songs, Ron has written many other songs, including:
-
"Crossing the Line" (Ovadia/Josefs) - the title song of this film
-
"If God Can Forgive Me" (Ovadia/Grant/Kimmel) - an award-winning Country song
-
"Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Grant/Ovadia) - the Emmy®-nominated title song for the animated TV series
-
"When You’ve Got Imagination" (Grant/Ovadia) - an award-winning composition
