The story behind rO n So

Music brought two beautifully complicated lives together.

Their story did not begin with a dating app or a carefully arranged introduction. It began amid loss, life's strange timing, and eleven puppies. What followed was a relationship grounded in tenderness, transparency, trust, humor, and music.

As rO n So, Robert and Sonya perform together and help cultivate local creative community through open mics and Make A Joyful Noise gatherings.

A love song from Robert to Sonya

Sweet Sonya Marie

Some love stories are told. This one is sung—an original song and video celebrating the woman at the heart of rO n So.

America's Favorite Couple

We made the Top 5. Now only first place advances.

We're a simple couple—
but complex individuals.

We live on trust, disclosure, and calmness.

We don't expect to win, because votes can be bought. Truthfully, we don't want to buy our way toward the benefits of winning.

We won already.
We have each other.

Win or lose, that is the one definitive thing that will not change. If we do win—with your love and your votes—then who knows what the stars have in store for Sonya Maria and me!
