Producer and keyboard player Ronnie King, known for his work with multi-platinum artists including Tupac Shakur and The Offspring, opened up a show this week for Mariah Carey in Santa Barbara, California, during which he played keyboards, accompanying sixteen-year old Becca Solodon, a cancer patient whose left leg was amputated just six weeks ago.
Becca, who had been diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma, lost her leg on October 31, after doctors determined it had a malignant tumor in it that was life-threatening. Becca, however, had a dream of being a songwriter and vocalist. She recently met King and producer Damion “Damizza” Young, who both took her under their wing, and co-produced a song for her in the recording studio. Damizza, who had previously worked with Mariah Carey, told the famous singer about the young, talented girl, who was suffering from cancer.
Mariah then invited Solodon to open her Santa Barbara concert, where Solodon opened up with a rendition of “Simon,” a song by Lifehouse, and King accompanied her on keyboards.
King was elated that Carey got involved in the situation to help Becca. “Mariah is just as sweet as ever.” King had previously recorded with Carey, and played on her Rainbow album on the track “Cry Baby,” featuring Snoop Dogg. “We were so touched by Becca’s talent,” he added. “I am so happy that I could help give to such a beautiful little girl.”
