History
RON ALEZZA
INDEPENDENT ARTIST - SONGWRITER - STORYTELLER
Born (Eric Ronald Cooper) in Detroit, Michigan, Ron’s creative
roots run deep. His mother, an independent lyricist, and
stepfather, creator, bandleader and songwriter of the touring
cover group “Heavenn,” who gained popularity throughout the
1980s and 1990s, inspired his early love of music. He began
training, playing the piano at a young age, and it built a strong
foundation that would eventually define his artistic journey.
Outside of music, Ron has cultivated a multifaceted career in
fashion retail and fitness. In 1997, he established a
private personal training firm in Chicago that relocated to Los
Angeles in 2000, which he continues to operate today. His
creativity extended to fashion with the introduction of his
men’s athleisure brand, ECF PERFORMANCE during 2012.
In conjunction with developing collections for the brand, Ron
combined his passion for style and music, producing original
soundtracks for ECF's fashion campaigns and promotional
videos. It was during this period that his love for songwriting
came to life.

Origins
Riobana
The label’s first project, Riobana, embodies that mission—
fusing Old School funk, rap, 80s pop, R&B, techno, disco,
and bossa nova into bold musical narratives throughout the
EP. Ron Alezza’s distinctive style of singing as spoken lyrics
brings a poetic, conversational rhythm to his performances,
blending storytelling with melody in a way that feels both
personal and cinematic. "Beyond being an EP, Riobana I feel
represents a new movement in music genres. I created the
unique blend of Old School funk, rap, 80s pop, R&B, disco,
techno, and bossa nova in order to broaden the sonic
experience and listening audience", explains Ron. The style—
also called Riobana—forms this vibrant musical fusion that
bridges eras and cultures. He adds, “At its heart, “Riobana”
is a musical escape that guides listeners through a
romantic journey – two souls meeting for the first time,
navigating the highs and lows of a relationship, and
ultimately achieving unconditional love. It’s a Brazilian
paradise. A place where couples can fall in love. The song
also represents my love for Rio de Janiero and the Brazilian
culture.”
Produced by Derrick L. Davis of Kabiri Productions, the
project reflects Ron’s passion for crafting music that
resonates with emotion and energy. The EP highlights his
commitment to artistic independence and his vision
for Riotrack Music as a home for authentic, heartfelt creativity.
Through Riobana and future projects, Ron Alezza continues
to build a body of work that connects deeply with listeners,
celebrates creative freedom, and showcases his dynamic
approach to modern music while honoring the influences that
shaped him.
The single “Riobana” releases October 2025, followed by the
full EP in November 2025 on all major streaming platforms.
