Bio

With the debut of his first solo album “Better Day,” Ross has found his element. Combining a passion for worship with the edgy grit of modern rock, songs like “Full On” have set him apart from the rest of the industry.

Ross built off the success of his former band Emissary where he was the master mind and song writer behind many of their hit radio songs like “Yeah”, “You Take My Breath Away” and “Authority.” Blending the experience of the rock band and tapping into his skills and passion as a worship leader, he created a well rounded album of uncompromised worship with the flavor and edge of today’s modern rock. His album “Better Day” exudes the youthful energy that drives a progressive generation.

Lyrics with content and heart fill the roster of songs on the new album. Songs like “You Are the Peace” speak life and hope to the essence of one’s being. In fact, Ross would tell you that song was written during a stressful time in his life. “The lyrics just came to me and the song brought me instant peace in a time of disarray.” Each song has its own meaning or story, but they all have one thing in common; they come from the heart.

The unique vocal sound and style Ross brings to the table make him hard to mistake for anyone off the shelf. The hint of rasp that seems to melt into a smooth pitch bend is commonplace throughout his songs. The melody lines are strong, catchy, and always seem to find the sweet spot in his voice. Songs like “Better Day” take full advantage of the vocal uniqueness Ross has to offer.

Character is the key to the music Ross writes. “I want my music to be a positive influence on people’s lives.” The goal of his solo album “Better Day” is to bring songs of good character to all who will listen. The songs are uplifting, elated, full of life and lyrically sound. A positive persuasion is the aspiration found in each song.

“Better Day” is the first solo album Ross has completed, but he has a proven track record both in writing and performing. Years with Emissary and various other groups have confirmed his success. Now, with the evolution and renewed innovation of his song writing, he has shaped the edge of modern rock around the passion of worship to create some of the most powerful songs of this generation.
