BIO
Kevin Ross is what happens when pure talent meets fearless independence.
The Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, and performer from Washington, D.C., is redefining modern R&B one unforgettable song at a time. With a voice that cuts through the noise and lyrics that speak to the soul, Ross has carved out his own lane, blending classic influences with a contemporary vision. Since breaking onto the scene in 2016, he has amassed over 100 million streams, earned multiple #1 hits on Billboard’s Adult R&B charts, and headlined sold-out shows across the country — all while staying true to his craft and creative convictions.
After making an instant impact with his breakout single “Long Song Away,” Ross built a bulletproof solo discography with acclaimed projects like The Awakening (2017), Drive (2017), and Audacity Vol. 1 & 2 (2020). He’s collaborated with A-List talent like Trey Songz, Toni Braxton, Tank, Kevin Hart, and more, while sharing the stage with legends such as Babyface, Maxwell, and KEM, and earned nominations from the NAACP Image Awards, Soul Train Music Awards, and iHeartRadio Music Awards. But even as his star rose, Ross felt called to something more profound.
In 2019, he launched his own label, Art Society Music Group (ASMG), and took full control of his artistic journey. The result? Some of his most honest and resonant work to date. His 2021 release Drive 2 debuted at #1 on the iTunes R&B/Soul Albums Chart, with fan favorites “Looking for Love” and “Sweet Release” both climbing into Billboard’s Top 10 Adult R&B Radio Airplay chart. The Washington Post put it best: “Ross doesn’t sound like he’s trying to find a musical identity. He knows who he is, and his music reflects that.”
In 2024, Ross continues his momentum with Love Uptempo Vol. 1, a vibrant collection that showcases his versatility and vision. Its lead single, “Love In The Middle,” is currently a Top 10 hit on Billboard’s Adult R&B Radio chart, proving Ross remains a dominant force among his peers — indie or major.
He’s also making waves with his “Vets Only: Mash-Up” live series, where he pays homage to R&B greats while putting his own spin on timeless classics. Episodes include dynamic mashups with Slim of 112, Case, and Meelah of 702, each one a showcase of Ross’s vocal finesse and deep respect for the genre’s legacy.
This is R&B with purpose. This is Kevin Ross.
