Kevin Ross

Kevin Ross is an American singer-songwriter set on bringing elements of classic soul to contemporary R&B. Born in Washington D.C. in 1987, there was a certain inevitability to Ross's music career from an early age. He was influenced by his father's side of the family, many of whom played instruments and sang. He went to the Duke Ellington School of the Arts then Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he first attracted industry attention. After winning a local talent contest he caught the eye of producer Troy Taylor and began a career in songwriting. Relocating to Atlanta he got his first big break when he landed a placement with Jamie Foxx.

Songwriting led to a record deal at Motown as a solo artist. He made his debut with the 2014 EP 'Dialogue in the Grey', a record that included contributions from T.I. and Ne-Yo. He got to work on his full-length debut, 'The Awakening', though it took two years to emerge after its 2015 announcement. In the meantime he maintained a presence in the music industry by releasing a series of popular '90s mash-ups through social media. When the album arrived it made it to number 16 on the US Heat Chart, producing number one single 'Long Song Away' on the US Adult R&B Chart. In 2019 he released the single 'Thing Called Love' and announced the EP 'Audacity' for 2020.
