Bultongez rose to fame from appearances on both American Idol and The Voice, but the women discovered him we he performed at a gala they attended.
“Selfless people is what the country needs the most.. Selfish people have torn the country apart, it goes way back… I want to be one of those people who goes over there and enstills hope.”
Bultongez never saw himself as a singer, but after several injuries ended his college football career he took drop out of college to pursue performing. Bultongez tried out for the Voice 3 times, in 3 separate cities, and was rejected each time. He was not discouraged by this, and decided to impulsively pack up and move to Los Angeles. Bultongez travel from LA to New York to try out for American Idol, he was initially rejected during his first audition. However, the casting crew called him a few days later and the judges told him they had made a mistake and invited him to the second round of auditions in Hollywood.
While he was on the show, the city of Plano began rallying behind his “underdog” story and Ron became know as “The Son of Plano.” Now, Ron writes his own music drawing on past experiences and emotions. He is currently working to become a US citizen so he can eventually return to Congo and do humanitarian work
