Toronto singer/songwriter Yma Ronsi doesn’t hold back when it comes to her music – she’s no stranger to sarcasm, so when she’s around you’ll know it… but especially so when she’s singing.
Check out her song “White Knight” and you soon hear what we’re talking about. - Fusion Radio
"Yma Ronsi is an extremely talented Toronto-based unsigned artist whose 4 song debut EP has some of the most succinctly diverse, gorgeous, and catchy songs that you’ll hear all year. She’s worked with Grammy and Juno award winning producers and her music can be compared to artists as varied as The Beatles, Feist, Bjork, Nellie McKay, Esthero, and more. (We sat down with Yma a couple of weeks ago for an interview that we’ll post later this week). With songs as fun and hook-filled as these, don’t be surprised if you hear one of them pop up in an Apple commercial sometime soon."

Bio
Once upon a time in a land unknown and far away two misfits had twin baby girls. Unruly as they were, they sold the girls to a burlesque dancer who taught them how to love and dream. They spent playful days practicing their tightrope act to Sgt. Pepper and haunted nights under the spell of Bjork developing a taste for sweet bitterness like a licorice jellybean. Tired of life in their mistress’s act, they planned their escape from the life they knew. On their 18th birthday they hopped a train for Paris and were never heard from again. Some say they died; some say they're dancers at Pigalle; some claim they're Princesses at Disneyland; but they all say, they're Ooo La La.
Yma has recorded and written with Grammy Award winning writer/producer, Jim Peterik ("Eye of the Tiger", "Vehicle", etc.), producer/songwriter/director, Trevor Lawrence (“I’m So Excited”, “Slow Hand”, etc.), Vancouver’s Vic LeVak (RCA's, Balligomingo) and Juno award winning producer, Adam King (The Good Lovelies).
