Ronnie Platt (born February 24, 1962) is an American singer who is best known as the current lead singer for the rock band Kansas after Steve Walsh's retirement in 2014.[1] He is also the former lead singer of the band Shooting Star.
Platt started his career as a truck driver before joining Shooting Star in 2007.[2][3] He also played with various cover bands in Chicago.[3][4] After Walsh retired from Kansas in 2014, Platt messaged lead guitarist Rich Williams on Facebook and asked to be considered for the position.[3] Platt ultimately took over lead vocals and keyboard. In 2016, he appeared on his first Kansas album, The Prelude Implicit.[2][5][6]
