Canadian/Australian singer/songwriter Robert Ross was born
and raised on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick, Canada.
The small town of New Brunswick was a breeding ground for
folk songs written from the heart and from life. From an early
age he found his love for country music in hearing his mother Betty singing around the house and on the weekends. You
were sure to hear country music at any of the local dances or
socials. These songs became the basis of his music today.
Robert served in the Canadian Army for eleven and a half
years traveling coast to coast in Canada and in that time
served overseas for three and a half years. He moved to
Australia in 2009 and became an Australian Citizen in 2014.
He moved to Nashville in November 2023 to begin recording
his second album, working with Award winning Canadian
Artist/Producer Gil Grand.
Robert has become immensely popular in the Cairns region
while performing live for many audiences over the years. He
has also entertained throughout Australia, and internationally
in Nashville, USA and Canada.
Robert's style is influenced by country greats Johnny Cash,
Merle Haggard, Randy Travis and other country artists such as
Sawyer Brown, as well as good old Rock n' Roll. Robert says
“My music comes from life. The good, the bad and the
hilarious!
This is where we all have something in
common”. A fan once told him, “You know who you are; you
sing from the inside out. That is your soul talking with your
music”.
His debut album It’s Never Too Late comprises 10 original
songs written and composed by Robert. A total of six singles
have been released from it, being “I Will Rise” "Jack Daniels"
"Don’t You Cry" "Baby Don’t Go" "Golden Band" and
"Driving Me Insane." They have all risen on the Country
Music Charts both in Australia and on the Indie international
charts. The official videos can be found on YouTube.
His tracks "Jack Daniels" and "Driving Me Insane" reached #1
on the charts in Australia and on the world indie charts. His
song "Don’t You Cry" was #1 on the world indie charts and
was also nominated for Single of the Year at the Josie Music
Awards in Nashville. His #1 single "Jack Daniels" also made
the top 40 radio play for 2021 in Australia.
