Roni Size (born Ryan Owen Granville Williams, 29 October 1969, Bristol) is a British record producer and DJ, who came to prominence in 1997 as the founder and leader of Reprazent, a drum and bass collective. That year they won the Mercury Prize for their album New Forms.
He resurrected Reprazent in 2008 with the release of a deluxe edition of New Forms on Universal.
Williams, son of Jamaican immigrants, grew up in the Bristol suburb of St. Andrews. He cites reggae as one of his early influences. He was expelled from school at the age of 16 and started attending house parties run by Bristol soundsystem The Wild Bunch (a predecessor of Massive Attack). He learned the basics about music production at his local youth club, the Sefton Park basement project, which provided record players, a mixing desk, drum machines and samplers. He worked with his brother's comprehensive collection of Studio One records and later set up a home studio, buying a sampler.
His future musical partner, Krust, had been a member of the Fresh 4, whose "Wishing on a Star" reached the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart in late 1989. Williams, Krust, Suv and DJ Die founded Full Cycle Records.

Aired on BBC 2 in the autumn of 1997 after winning the Mercury Music Prize this documentary follows Roni Size and the Reprazent collective on tour
Breakbeat Era - Interview with Jools Holland (1999) Breakbeat Era was a short-lived British project, that combined the breakbeat talent of drum and bass producers, Roni Size and DJ Die, with the vocals of singer Leonie Laws. Spearheaded by the single "Ultra-Obscene", they then released as an album under the same title in 1999. In conjunction with the album's release, the group was also seen as a live act in the U.S. and UK in a similar vein as Reprazent, with focus on Leonie Laws. The original mix of the track "Breakbeat Era" first appeared under the name of Scorpio (a.k.a. Roni Size and DJ Die) featuring Leonie Laws, when it was included on the compilation, Music Box: A New Era In Drum & Bass in 1996. That mix was released on the 12" release under the Breakbeat Era name in 1998. As the al...
RONI SIZE Interviewed by: Nick Harris Roni Size should need little introduction. A Bristol scene stalwart and Drum & Bass pioneer since the early ‘90s, Roni is best known for the genre-bending and groundbreaking Reprazent project he founded – the first major Drum & Bass live band. Their 1997 Mercury Prize-winning album “New Forms” offered a thrilling new take on the genre, where live instrumentation, soulful vocals and classic influences were just as important as heavyweight bass. Roni recently released his first studio album for over a decade, “Take Kontrol” in 2014. This year, Reprazent has come back in full form – Roni talks to us about the history of the collective from its creation to the present day, their recent return to the stage and the go-to gear in his live rig. http://www.r...

[Lyrics Roni Size - Dirty Beats Album Version] Chorus Coming down new sound Should be thankful Dirty riffs Dirty beats Dirty samples Sell out show take the money Then we cancel Frontrows-backrows getting trampled Chorus What, before we just left the scene alone Got some front page headline and rap&mic; zone Are you mad? I forget what trauble understanding What it takes to fly the globe but keep the crowds damending More of the time of the beats you felt Kind the smooth as you associate the cream that melt All over tracks the states and patents are created Like a amblem on the girl that says it's highly rated You figured out how much energy when we lash it out How much goes into a state when we move and bash it out I'm no out Its not coincidence why I'm hear Its not the ...
[Lyrics Roni Size - Destination] Lend my ears, destination A lonely conversation Am the truth, live a lie A normal guy Yesterday Waste away tomorrow comes The monster, the monster How do you split $450 3- ways? The footprints, the footprints How do you split $450 3- way You ask me a question You're going back and forth I'm the one who's there when You are so down. I think we sailed too far We've sailed to far Your making things too hard You make it you make it If I'm in a crowd and I see you All alone wow Your such a fuck that I love to hate myself. Wow Radio station C4 am 95 They got the riffs And they got the chords The nine-string guitar attack leaves you begging For more We're tuning to thank you Radio station C4 am 95
