Ron was raised in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta. There, he attended

hobby in music while in high school where he formed various bands.
After high school, he attended Rutgers University for two years to play
baseball. After a career-ending injury, he transferred to New York
University in New York City in 2003 to pursue his other passion, music. After
joining a songwriting circle with fellow students, he met friends and future
band mates, Zach Berkman and Paul Hammer. From there, they created The District
with Chris Kienel, Will Frish, and Mike Clifford. Achieving success as a
college band on the NYU campus, the band toured America for two years and
recorded three albums - The District, The District Does Christmas,
and Last Call. In December 2010, The District reunited to record
"Wellfleet"
In March 2008, Pope performed on MTV's TRL as a featured up and
coming artist Independently, he wrote, produced, and released four full-length
albums - Daylight (2008), The Bedroom Demos (2009), Goodbye,
Goodnight (2009), and Hello, Love (2009).
In May 2009, Pope signed a recording contract with major record label,
Universal Republic. After spending a year under Universal Republic and releasing
two singles - "A Drop In the Ocean" and "I Believe", he
left the label to produce his music independently. He has since written,
produced, and released two albums, The New England Sessions (2009) and Whatever
It Takes (2010). He also created the project 26 Tuesdays, in which he
released a new, previously unreleased single to his fans each week
(July–December 2011).
