RONNIE ATKINS is most widely known as the vocalist of the Danish Hard Rock band PRETTY MAIDS. Not long after being diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer, Atkins decided he wasn’t going to let it slow him down. Atkins has released three solo albums since March 2021; One Shot, 4 More Shots EP and his latest, Make It Count. I had the chance to speak with RONNIE ATKINS ahead of the album’s release.
