Founded on February 11, 2023, in East Harlem, New York, Ripple Effect Records was established with a powerful belief in music’s ability to create lasting change—much like the ripple created by a single drop of water. Inspired by the butterfly effect theory, the label envisions that a single song has the potential to transform an artist’s life. Ripple Effect Records is committed to discovering and nurturing artists who use music as a medium to express their personal journeys, capturing authentic moments and emotions through sound.
Led by Chairman and artist Ronnijay Jackson, known as RONNI J, and CEO and artist manager Keith E. Mordle, Ripple Effect Records is focused on building a robust and innovative system that supports artists in every aspect of their careers. The label is dedicated to artists who value both the creative process and the technical precision of their sound, ensuring that their music resonates on a global level.
A Commitment to Authentic Storytelling

While the label does not support or glorify violence, it acknowledges the significance of real-life experiences, encouraging open and honest expression through storytelling. The primary goal is to create meaningful, impactful music that connects with listeners.
Though a relatively new entity in the music industry, Ripple Effect Records has established a strong foundation of trusted collaborators, including songwriters, engineers, and producers, as well as access to high-quality studios equipped with the tools artists need to refine their sound. With a network of like-minded professionals and investors, Ripple Effect Records is poised to create an infrastructure that nurtures talent and drives lasting success for its artists.
