Early Life Shaped by Purpose and Creativity

Born J. Ross Victory on January 7, 1990, in Inglewood, Los Angeles, Ross’s upbringing was unique—his father a missionary and his mother in law enforcement instilled a deep sense of discipline and service. From a young age, Ross’s creative voice was evident, using writing and music to express his worldview and challenge societal norms. These early experiences laid the groundwork for a career defined by art with a message.

Breakthrough in Music and Writing

Ross’s teenage years saw him channel intense personal and community experiences into songwriting and beat-making. At 15, his song addressing gang violence earned him runner-up in a songwriting competition, signaling the arrival of a bold new voice in music. Ross’s later internships at Power 106 and ASCAP sharpened his industry knowledge, blending marketing savvy with creative passion.

Tragedy Inspires a New Artistic Mission

The losses of his father and brother profoundly affected Ross, pushing him deeper into storytelling and music as tools for healing. This period fueled his commitment to creating art that transcends entertainment, offering hope and transformation through honest, heartfelt expression.

Expanding Horizons: From Memoirs to Music

In 2019, Ross published Views from the Cockpit, a memoir that blends lyrical prose with raw emotional storytelling. He’s since authored six books spanning memoir, young adult horror, and poetry, while his work appears in outlets like LA Progressive and The Good Men Project. Simultaneously, Ross launched his music career with the single “Savor the View,” quickly building a catalog that reflects his ’90s R&B and hip-hop influences.

Defining Hits and Powerful Singles

Ross’s discography features over a dozen singles and two EPs, with standout tracks like “Bisexual Daze,” a Pride anthem celebrating identity and self-love, and “Bounce,” a dance-ready hit that showcases his vibrant energy. The socially conscious “My Fault,” produced and hosted by Ne-Yo, tackles racial justice head-on, marking Ross as an artist unafraid to speak truth through music.

Activism at the Core of His Artistry

Beyond music, Ross Victory is a committed activist. He serves on the LA Bi+ Task Force, supports mental health initiatives, and raises funds for homeless youth organizations. His advocacy seamlessly intertwines with his creative output, amplifying voices often overlooked in mainstream conversations.
