Justin Ross



Band Biography



Fort Worth native Justin Ross’ music is a delectable hybrid of rock and pop



that calls upon the strengths of both genres. His creative process coalesces



into catchy music, full of hooks and with something to say to everybody.



Accessible but original, Ross defies convention yet respects the roots of



Texas music.



Me and Free



Ross writes music to help people feel free and be at home with themselves,



because that’s what music does for him. “When I play music, it is the one



thing that lets me be me and free.” He fills his songs with poignant



emotional content and plenty of entertainment punch, providing music that is



both fun and affecting. “There are so many feelings that pour through me



when playing, singing or writing that sometimes it is very overwhelming, but



in a good way.”



Common Ground



Ross finds common ground between him and listeners and helps fans find



common ground among themselves. He does this by tapping into real human



experience and writing in a very personal way about things that are



universal. He often draws from family and other elements of his personal



life and environment. “Everything I write is from my heart and based upon



some personal experiences, but what I love the most is when I see that my



music can touch other people’s hearts. That is worth everything to me.”



The Artist at Work



The year



2006 saw Ross land a sixth place spot (out of 10,000 musical artists



globally) in the Emergenza international music festival. He was the first



artist to independently sell an album through the Army Air Force Exchange



Service (the CD “Seventy Five”); it sold on every military base in the



country. Ross was the first musician to perform for the Katrina Relief



Concert in 2005 (in Shreveport ). His “City Lights” song was declared track



of the day on
