Bio
A good country song takes a page out of somebody's life and puts it to music."
-Conway Twitty
Robert Ross
Robert is a Canadian/Australian singer/songwriter and was born and raised on the Miramichi in New Brunswick, Canada. Small town New Brunswick was a breeding ground for folk and country songs written from the heart and soul about life. His passion for country music came from hearing his Mamma (Betty) singing around the house and listening to traditional and country music at local dances and socials. These songs became the basis of his music today. His life and music have been influenced by serving in the Canadian Army for over 11 years, traveling coast to coast in Canada then serving overseas for 3 and a half years. He was provided a life changing opportunity and moved to Australia in 2009 and became a dual citizen in 2014. Robert launched his debut album in Australia in 2019, entitled “IT’S NEVER TOO LATE", consisting of 10 original songs written and composed by him. The album highlights his influences by country greats, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Randy Travis and Sawyer Brown, with a touch of good ole Rock n' Roll. A total of six singles were released. His song "Jack Daniels" reached #1 on the charts in Australia and "Driving Me Insane" and "Don't You Cry" reached #1 on International Indie charts. "Don't You Cry" was nominated for Single of the Year at the Josie Music Awards in Nashville, 2021 and "Jack Daniels"" made the top 40 radio play for 2021 in Australia. All official videos can all be found on YouTube. In October 2023, sponsorship was provided by a local Nashville producer. Robert took the leap of faith, then reconnected with Canadian Artist/Producer Gil Grand in Nashville and began writing/recording his second album entitled "BETTER WITH TIME", a compilation of 10 original songs written or co-written by him and Mr Grand. On July 26 2024, two singles were released (“Drink Em Down" and "Mamma's Song") in the USA, Australia, and Europe. “Drink Em Down” is currently sitting in the top 40 charts in Australia, UK and Europe. Presently charting in the top 40 on independent charts in the USA. Thank you Yours in Music
My Musical Journey
Small town New Brunswick, Canada was a breeding ground for folk songs written from the heart and from life. From an early age I found my love of music in hearing my Mother (Betty) singing around the house. The songs of the country greats were sung daily and you were sure to hear more heart of country music on the weekend at any local dances or socials. These songs became the basis of my music today. My music comes from life. The good, the bad and the hilarious! Where we all have something in common. I am pleased to share with you my original songs and will continue to promote the classic tunes from our past. Thank you for taking this journey with me. Enjoy.
