Ronald David Mael (Culver City, California,
August 12, 1945) is an American musician, songwriter, composer and
record producer. He is the keyboard player and principal songwriter in
the band Sparks which he founded with vocalist, occasional songwriter and younger brother Russell Mael in 1971. Mael is known for his quirky and idiosyncratic approach to songwriting,
his intricate and rhythmic keyboard playing style and for his deadpan
and low key, scowling demeanour onstage often remaining motionless over
his keyboard in sharp contrast to Russell's animated and hyperactive
frontman antics. Ron Mael is also noted for his conservative clothes and
unfashionable moustache. The Mael brothers are the founders of Lil'
Beethoven Records.
