Jac Ross Biography
Jac Ross is an American R&B singer-songwriter known for a powerful voice and a style rooted in traditional R&B, jazz, and country. A largely self-taught musician, Ross began singing and playing piano at age five, developing his technical skills through high school. He spent years performing at church services, where his father served as pastor, providing a foundation for the gospel-infused soul that characterizes his music.
Ross chose to pursue music over collegiate basketball, dedicating himself to his craft despite personal challenges, including supporting his family through difficult times. His career gained momentum when his songwriting collaborator Mezo Riccio introduced his work to Rodney Jerkins. After hearing Ross' self-released single "Gotta Be Mine," Jerkins invited Ross to perform at his home, where he sang Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" and an original song titled "Freedom." Impressed by his vocal ability, Jerkins signed Ross to the Darkchild imprint and facilitated a deal with Island Records.
Ross released "It's OK to Be Black," which was featured in a National Basketball Association campaign supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. He followed with singles including "Saved," an update of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," and "It's OK to Be Black 2.0," featuring D Smoke and Buddy. Subsequent releases such as "Never Say" and "So Into You" further established Ross in the R&B industry, drawing comparisons to artists like Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye.
Ross contributed the track "Count on Me" to the soundtrack of the animated film "DC League of Super-Pets." He expanded his audience with a featured role on X Ambassadors' "Happy People," and released additional works including the a cappella "I'll Always Love You" and the "It's Christmas Time" EP. Ross has also authored country singles such as "Queen," "American Dream," and "Another Man's Tears," reflecting his versatility across genres. With a background shaped by gospel music and personal perseverance, Ross delivers music that resonates with audiences in R&B, soul, and country.
