Ronboy

Julia Laws spent her formative years on Fidalgo Island off the coast of Washington state. Emerging from the DIY music scene, she steadily built her distinctive sonic identity. After moving to Los Angeles, Laws started working at notable local venue, The Kia Forum, and began to produce and record her own music, releasing Ronboy’s first EP in 2020. Matt Berninger (The National) took notice and invited Laws to record and perform with him while promoting his debut solo album. Berninger and Ronboy later collaborated with Resynator on a cover of Tom Petty’s "Only a Broken Heart" in 2021–an all-synth, all-feeling rendition of the Petty classic.

In the summer of 2022, Ronboy released her debut album, "Pity To Love." Amidst release, Laws joined Jade Bird for a handful of tours on bass and vocals. Laws has since pinch hit on bass and vocals with artists including Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes) on Jimmy Kimmel and IDLES at their historic show in Los Angeles during the 2025 GRAMMY weekend at The Silverlake Lounge. Laws herself puts on a yearly benefit show, Ronboy’s Rockin’ Disco, booking performers including Lauren Mayberry (Chvrches), Adam Granduciel (The War on Drugs), Matt Berninger, Aly & AJ, LP, Tomberlin, Indigo De Souza, comedian Chelsea Peretti and more. The 2025 benefit raised nearly $30,000 for LA’s Alexandria House.

Now, Ronboy is gearing up to release her EP, Get Rich, this July, marking a bold shift toward a heavier sound filled with raw intensity, all while maintaining her signature emotional vulnerability.
