Ronnie Jackson (born 1983), known professionally as Lil' Ronnie, is an American record producer, songwriter, and entrepreneur based in Atlanta, Georgia. Best known for his work in R&B and hip hop with artists like Bow Wow and Tamia, he is also the founder of Einnor Studios, a luxury recording complex in Alpharetta.
His production discography spans R&B, hip hop, and pop, including works for Britney Spears, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Ciara, T-Pain, and GloRilla. In addition to his commercial success, Jackson has contributed to multiple Grammy-nominated albums.
Career
Jackson began his career in Kansas City before relocating to Atlanta. His first major commercial production was the 2006 single "I'm a Flirt" by Bow Wow featuring R. Kelly, which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart. Following this release, he signed a publishing deal with Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Recordings.
During the late 2000s and 2010s, Jackson produced R&B and pop tracks, including "Same Girl" for R. Kelly and Usher, "Lace and Leather" for Britney Spears' Circus, and "One Night" for Tyrese. He also produced the 2009 hit "Crazy Night" for R. Kelly featuring Rock City. In 2018, Jackson was a primary producer for Tamia's album Passion Like Fire, which received a nomination for Best R&B Album at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
In the 2020s, Jackson executive-produced K. Michelle's album I'm the Problem (2023). He produced the album's lead single, "Scooch", which reached number one on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart. He also produced "Whatchu Kno About Me" (featuring Sexyy Red) for GloRilla's 2024 album Glorious.
Einnor Studios
In 2021, Jackson opened Einnor Studios, a 100,000-square-foot audio production facility in Alpharetta, Georgia.[1] The name "Einnor" is "Ronnie" spelled backward.[2]
The facility contains five recording studios, including two main control rooms.[3] Jackson collaborated with acoustician George Augspurger and Symphonic Acoustics to design custom dual-15" monitoring systems for the rooms.[4] The studio's flagship room, designated "A1", is equipped with a 32-channel Solid State Logic (SSL) Origin analog console.[5] The "A2" studio features a Neve Genesys Black G16 mixing console.[6] The complex also features hospitality and residential amenities, including a gym and a 24-hour liquor license.[7]
