Josh Ross is a global force; a next-generation talent who’s anything but standard. On an unconventional path of his own design, Ross pairs a dark and mellow blast of modern country with a warm vocal rasp and rock inclinations, heart-on-his-sleeve songwriting and addictive hooks that heed no borders. Pulling influences ranging from Guns N’ Roses and Metallica to country-rock outlaw Steve Earle, the former collegiate football player has leveraged his knack for emotional song craft into a series of certified hits. 
  
His dusky power ballad “Trouble” rose to #1 in Canada, earning Double Platinum certification in Canada and RIAA Gold certification in the U.S., and introduced what would become his 2024, 8-song EP, Complicated. The project earned Ross his first-ever JUNO Award in 2025 for Country Album of the Year, and in 2024 he took home five CCMA Awards. Canada-born and Nashville-based, the current CCMA Entertainer of the Year tallies more than 1 billon career streams and has been hailed as an Artist to Watch by Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, MusicRow, the Grand Ole Opry, and more. 
 
Touring alongside hard-rocking, cross-genre superstars like Nickelback, Brantley Gilbert, Bailey Zimmerman, and Luke Bryan, Ross recently wrapped tour support to Jelly Roll on The Beautifully Broken Great Northern Tour across Canada. His bold barroom anthem “Single Again” is climbing the charts – now inside the Top 5 at US country radio and “Leave Me Too” peaked #2 at Canadian Country radio. Ross took home his first-ever CMA Award in 2024 – the Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award – recognizing his international achievements in country music.
