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

His predilection toward anthem-like songs took a literal turn when he co-authored the English translation of the Swiss National Anthem (2020). Ron is currently working on his next song, "No Place For Hate", as an antidote to the rising tide of hate and disharmony that is so pervasive.

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
