Because of the unusual spelling and pronunciation of the Ronley, many have been surprised to find that the Ronley is not a burly man named "wrong" but is in fact a member of a tribe of sexy, eceletic musical art storytellers. Ronley's music is a "syncretic" mish mash of styles crossing: Roots, Jazz, Blues, Pop, World and Folk and electronic. Ronley's influences include those of Cassandra Wilson, Ricky Lee Jones, Tom Waits, and Peter Gabriel.
Ronley moves back to Toronto, Canada to focus on her solo musical career. Ronley has been aired on CBC numerous times, including Richardson's Roundup, Here and Now, and Radio Canada's Diable4. She has also performed live and been interviewed on CKLN, CFRU, and other college radio stations across North America... She has been showcased on Estrogen Music.com. As well, she is constantly touring across Canada and the United States, performing solo as well as duo, trio and full band arrangements. Currently, Ronley is promoting her new cd released this passed fall, "Stories From The Tray."

On the album, trumpet, guitar loops, percussion, piano, dobro and a host of other instruments float dreamily through Teper's free-form songs, behind haunting vocals." Eric Volmers - Nightlife Magazine à Arts & Culture 11/01
"Please don't mistake her sweetness for meekness. Ronley Teper, brings the stripped down power in her songwriting to the forefront. Soft, story
