Meet the Team Behind the Song

Ron Robinson

Ron Robinson is the song’s main artist and producer, and his catalog is built on Disney music. His 2023 album The Other Side of the Castle covers classics like “When You Wish Upon a Star,” “Baby Mine,” “Feed the Birds” and “It’s a Small World,” and he has followed it with singles of “I See the Light” (2024), “You’ll Be In My Heart” and “Colors of the Wind” (2025), and “Reflection” (2026). In his Apple Music bio, he credits a childhood spent playing old Disney records — alongside Barry Manilow and James Taylor — with shaping the producer he became.

Scott Krippayne

Scott Krippayne is an Emmy Award-winning songwriter and producer based in the Seattle area. He wrote the theme song for Nickelodeon’s PAW Patrol, and his songs have been recorded by artists including Demi Lovato, Jordin Sparks and Kool & the Gang. On “Keeping the Magic Alive,” he’s both a co-writer and one of the two lead voices.

Missi Hale

Los Angeles-based singer Missi Hale shares lead vocals with Krippayne. Her soundtrack work includes Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, The Mitchells vs. the Machines and the 2020 Animaniacs revival.

Ruben Rios

Co-writer Ruben Rios hosts the Disney Magical Mindset Podcast, a show about carrying the inspiration of the parks into everyday life. You can find him on Instagram at @rubenriosinspires.
