About
Hi, I'm ross, and I do a lot of different things.

As a MUSICAL THEATRE WRITER, I’ve created the musical GUN & POWDER with playwright Angelica Chéri. The Paper Mill Playhouse production was named a NY Times Critics' Pick: "With a wide-ranging, powerhouse score...a big-throated American musical filled with star-making roles for Black women." Other highlights along the way include a sold out run at DC's Signature Theatre, the NAMT Festival, Lincoln Center’s Broadway’s Future Songbook series, and the prestigious Richard Rodgers Award. I'm also writing the new original musical ESCAPELAND with playwright Charlie Oh.

As a MUSIC PRODUCER, I’ve collaborated with Tony-winning and Grammy-nominated artists, including alums of Broadway and The Voice, to bring their artistic visions to life. With the music collective RANGE, I composed, arranged, and produced national sync placements for Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, Billboard, Playbill, E! Network, and a YouTube channel totaling 225 million views.

As a SINGER-SONGWRITER, I perform my original music around NYC and LA. Inspired by artist-producers like Jon Bellion, Charlie Puth, Jack Antonoff, and Ryan Tedder, I wrote and produced my EP, Three Red Hearts, which combines my love for pop/R&B with soaring vocals, ear-catching harmonies, and vulnerable storytelling.

As a COMPOSER + ARRANGER, I make music for commercials, plays, podcasts, jingles, cruise shows, ad agencies, and brands. Past clients include KFC, NJ Lottery, Celebrity Cruises, RWS Entertainment Group, and Disney. One of my proudest achievements was producing the epic mash-up that dropkicked” Lin-Manuel Miranda’s heart.

As a VOICE COACH + TEACHER, I've helped clients book roles on Broadway (DEAR EVAN HANSEN, WICKED, THE BOOK OF MORMON, MY FAIR LADY, CHICAGO, WAR PAINT, FUNNY GIRL), National Tours (HEDWIG, RENT), and regionally. I received my voice teacher certification through New York Vocal Coaching and have served on faculty at Syracuse University and the Art of Acting Studio in Los Angeles. I offer one-on-one sessions through my vocal studio.

My training includes an MFA in Musical Theatre Writing from NYU, BFA in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University, and the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop. I split my time between New York and Los Angeles.

So get in touch and let’s see if we can collaborate together on something awesome.
