Black Bird White Sky is the creative persona for singer/songwriter Ronnie Shingelo.

Shingelo, was born in NJ and cut his musical teeth there and in NYC. He has a passion for dark, romantic music and melodies.

The upcoming album Black Bird White Lightning was written by Shingelo and longtime friend Jimmy Gnecco. The album was meticulously crafted over a period of a few years and produced by Gnecco at his NJ based recording studio.

Much like Shingelo's voice, the songs and recordings show a great range of music that is rich with texture, and at times stripped down to the core, always featuring the singing of Shingelo as he takes you through the many aspects of the human experience. There is an adoration for life which comes across in songs like "Air We Breathe" and "Stay" while also having moments of self reflection, gratitude and a curiosity for more understanding in songs like "Your Hands Your Mind Your Heart," "Touch,” and "Chemical Love." The album ends with the acoustically driven track “White Lightning” which is an homage to his friend Gnecco. 

Past releases under black bird white sky include a full length self titled record, a Remix EP and The Fall EP all of which are available on all major streaming platforms and iTunes.Cover photo by Lauren Jonik.

Ronnie also teaches singing, songwriting, piano, guitar, drums, and Pro Tools recording software to students of all ages.  His approach and dedication to teaching is slightly unorthodox in that he teaches his students first how to listen and then to find and develop their individual voices, processes and musical identities. 

Singing lessons with Ronnie involve strengthening the voice through various exercises, sounds, and scales to facilitate an expanded range, improving pitch, and developing stamina.  Regardless of musical genre, good technique will help preserve the voice!
