Noah Dean Larkin Gale[1] (born 1993), professionally known as Ro Ransom, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer from Manhattan, New York. He had a breakthrough hit with his 2016 single "See Me Fall". His most recent project, an album entitled The Uncomfortable Truth, was released in November 2025.

Early life

[edit]

Noah Gale[2] was born in Queens, New York and grew up in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan.[3]

He wrote his first raps in middle school[4] and began releasing music at age 16 in 2009 using the stage name Nero.

Career

[edit]

In 2011, Gale began using the stage name Ro Ransom to avoid confusion with an EDM group also named Nero.[5] He had also considered "Young Coyote" as his pseudonym.[2] In 2012, he released a remix of the Purity Ring song "Odebear" and followed that with his first mixtape using the Ro Ransom moniker, Ransomnia. That collection featured the single "Deadman Wonderland"[6] and guest appearances from Trae tha Truth, Casey Veggies, 10ille, Chuck Inglish, AraabMuzik and Ricky Hil.[7]

In October 2014, Ransom released his second mixtape, Ro Ransom is the Future. The collection featured the single "Anaconda Vise". It had two bonus discs, one with extra songs and a third disc containing a collection a freestyles, only released to his fanclub.[8] In August 2015, he released the single "See Me Fall" (featuring Kensei Abbot)[9] which would go on to become a viral hit.[10] He released a music video for the song that December,[11] and a remixed version by Y2K came out in March 2016.[12]

Throughout 2016, Ro also released several other tracks including "Talk Too Much",[13] "Donuts" (featuring Kensei Abbot),[14] "Invented Swag" (featuring Kensei Abbot and Nessly),[15] and "Doppelgänger".[16] Early in 2017, he opened for Dua Lipa on her first North American tour.[17][18] He secured a writing placement on Khalid's American Teen album, co-writing the song "Let's Go".[19] In October 2017, he released a mixtape called Momentum while on tour with Connecticut rapper Witt Lowry. It featured the aforementioned "See Me Fall", "Prettiest", and "Doppelgänger" as well as the single "Prettiest" featuring Jazz Cartier.[20]

In April 2018, Ransom released the song "Floetry" (featuring Kensei Abbot),[21] which was his first single to be released on Same Plate Entertainment, a joint venture label with Sony Music. In June of that year, he released the single "Wraith",[22] a song influenced by 1990s R&B acts like TLC and Destiny's Child.[10] The song would get an official remix from Y2K in January 2019.[23] In September 2018, Ransom released his first and only project with Same Plate/Sony, the EP Possessed.[24]
